In Start Again, \u003cbr\u003e Dignity, Laurence Musgrove traces through verse\u003cbr\u003e his study of Buddhism, meditation, and\u003cbr\u003e mindfulness in the relatively isolated expanses of\u003cbr\u003e West Texas. With no retreat centers or meditation\u003cbr\u003e teachers nearby, he documents his spiritual\u003cbr\u003e journey in original sutras, calling into dialogue the\u003cbr\u003e imagined persona of the Buddha. These poems\u003cbr\u003e address many of the foundational truths of\u003cbr\u003e Buddhist study, including impermanence, human\u003cbr\u003e suffering, and selflessness. They also show an\u003cbr\u003e established professor and student of Buddhism\u003cbr\u003e struggling to develop and maintain a meditation\u003cbr\u003e practice, sustained and generous attention, and a\u003cbr\u003e fearless engagement with a beautifully imperfect\u003cbr\u003e world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51774884806944,"sku":"9781942956723","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/509a0e352d418e939fdd9b32a1159785.webp?v=1780455899","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-bluebonnet-sutras-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
