Book overview

Many lay Buddhists struggle to carry the benefits of their studies and meditation practice into their twenty-first-century lives. How might our daily experience of both life and the Buddha's teachings shift if there were no separation between them?

 

In A Whole-Life Path, Gregory Kramer invites us to see the noise, complexity, and challenges of today's world as doorways to fully embodied Dhamma wisdom. Drawing on decades of meditation, study, and teaching, he explores the essence of each factor of the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path. He then looks at modern life with fresh eyes, calling out the myriad opportunities it offers to put all the Buddha's teachings into practice-individually, relationally, and socially. More than 50 experiential practices allow us to test his guidance-right here, right now.

 

Anywhere the Buddha's teaching meets our unique life circumstances, our whole-life path is born anew. With A Whole-Life Path as a starting point and touchstone, our lives and our spiritual path can become one.
