Opis

Combining an autobiography written with humor and a record of the personal discovery of the deepest wisdom teachings of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of Dzogchen appears at first glance to be an unlikely partnering. Beginning the main story at the 50-year mark also seems a bit unusual. Ms. Fleming takes the reader from one incongruous event to the next with lighthearted asides and anecdotes and translates them into universal principles that have marked her progress on the path of spiritual self discovery. Multiple examples of real life applications provide a map for those who may wish to set off on their own spiritual journey.
