There are three sections to this book. The first section explores our origins and uses the clarity that arises from this to ease us out of our isolation.
The second section describes how we wander in samsara due to the dependent arising of the twelve links on the wheel of becoming.
The third section describes how we can use the teaching of the The Heart Sutra to awaken to emptiness.
Although the word ‘emptiness’ can seem a bit intimidating, in the Buddhist traditions it is the key to freedom…. The chapters in this book offer fresh ways of viewing our situation so that we can awaken to our true essence and to freedom.
