Life is a gift and part of what it takes to fully open that gift is to discover and enact the ways you are a gift to life. This book presents a view of Buddhism that captures the full aliveness and creative nature of being human. Blessings of the Creative Buddha celebrates the active creative process of sacralizing life, of growing into a spiritually mature human being, of shaping social justice, and of generating collective blessings in the form of benefit and beauty.

The "YES... AND Sutras" are an invitation to reflect on wise passages that are designed for reflection, inspiration and insight. "YES" affirms life, the nature of the world, and the sacred truths that become accessible to us when we are fully present. "AND" invites us to continually open, both to the next moment and to further insights about ways to live more meaningfully and joyfully.
