{"product_id":"suffering-buddha-epstei-robert-epstein-with-stacy-taylor-9781426925887","title":"Suffering Buddha: The Zen Way Beyond Health and Illness","description":"Long ago, the Buddha taught that we create the world with our thoughts; and the more attached we are to things being a certain way, the more we suffer. Nowhere is this clearer than with chronic illness and pain: Our self-blame, anguish, depression, fear, loneliness, anger and embarrassment are the byproducts of denying the reality of illness or pain. If we are courageous enough to set aside our beliefs, hopes, and longings for a former or mythical ideal of health, which pull us out of the present moment, we free ourselves from the hell realm of suffering. Mindfully observing what is right here-and-now enables true healing to take place--healing that moves us beyond our naive ideas of health and illness. After all, we are not brains on a stick. Mind and body are united by spirit and it is spiritual understanding that leads us to the well where wisdom, love and compassion abide--qualities vital to the recovery of wholeness and well-being. SUFFERING BUDDHA points the way to inner healing; it is not a how-to manual or glib prescription for spiritual transcendence, precisely because such are not necessary. In our own wise, awakened hearts lies the key to wellness and ease.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Epstei Robert Epstein with Stacy Taylor, Robert Epstein with Stacy Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1426925883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781426925887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Epstei Robert Epstein with Stacy Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123539898623,"sku":"9781426925887","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70aeebbd-48d1-404e-9456-22209d43891f.jpg?v=1687431460","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/suffering-buddha-epstei-robert-epstein-with-stacy-taylor-9781426925887","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
