Buddha in the Garden (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798241206770)

Buddha in the Garden uses the garden as a metaphor for discovering solid life truths. It winds its way through paths of puzzlement, delight, and achievement with the author, as she trips over stones leading to some lovely moments of understanding. With the peace of compassion, this book offers new perspectives and a deeper look at ideas you thought you knew well.

Herein, every insect and animal becomes an unexpected teacher, offering quiet lessons in patience, balance, and kindness. There are no perfect fixes, no instructions for keeping out life. Instead, this book offers hard-won methods for inviting it in-and finding some beauty in the bargain.

A deep dive into the First Precept (no killing) reveals issues gentle gardeners and Buddhists alike must confront in life and in the garden. Is it possible to adopt a no-kill attitude and still nurture an abundant garden?

Written for nascent Buddhists and those seeking ethical foundations for gardening, this book shares some Theravadan concepts and experiences unique to the author. Part garden wisdom and cautionary tales, part gentle guide, Buddha in the Garden is for anyone who believes a garden is more than a place to grow food-it is a place to grow you.
