Challenging Samsara: Using the Buddhadharma for Guidance
Ebook
Challenging Samsara is a book of poems that ultimately provides guidance for more positive behaviors. Learning to work with a loved one, a friend, or employee who has anger or impatience is challenging. Patience is the one virtue where you really need to work with another in order to develop loving kindness, and compassion. The Buddhist teachings offer ways to address problematic areas of behavior. This book will provide readers with mindful solutions which will help them benefit all sentient beings.
“Challenging Samsara gives the reader insight into the Marilyn Merritt’s very personal journey, while at the same time providing a framework for each reader’s individual process. This is not a book to be relegated to a cluttered shelf, but rather a volume to leave on a convenient table, always available to provide calm and inspiration. These poems may be used as a meditation, quieting external distraction, allowing each individual to grow in self-awareness.”
