Do you feel at home right now? Or do you sense a hovering anxiety or
uncertainty, an underlying unease that makes you feel just a bit
uncomfortable, a bit distracted and disconnected from those around you?
In The Road Home,
Ethan Nichtern, a senior teacher in the Shambhala Buddhist tradition,
investigates the journey each of us takes to find where we belong.
Drawing from contemporary research on meditation and mindfulness and his
experience as a Buddhist teacher and practitioner, Nichtern describes
in fresh and deeply resonant terms the basic existential experience that
gives rise to spiritual seeking--and also to its potentially dangerous
counterpart, spiritual materialism. He reveals how our individual quests
for self-awareness ripple forward into relationships, communities, and
society at large. And he explains exactly how, by turning our awareness
to what's happening around us and inside us, we become able to enhance
our sense of connection with others and, at the same time, change for
the better our individual and collective patterns of greed, apathy, and
inattention.
In this wise and witty invitation to Buddhist
meditation, Nichtern shows how, in order to create a truly compassionate
and enlightened society, we must start with ourselves. And this means
beginning by working with our own minds--in whatever state we find them
in.
