Product Description
The Buddha actively promoted spiritual friendship, calling it “the whole of the spiritual life,” yet much of Buddhist practice is spent meditating in solitude and silence. Hello at Last charts one woman’s exploration of this apparent contradiction. The author shares practices representing a variety of traditions, all aiming to soften the walls of self and dispel the illusion of separateness.
Sara Jenkins is a writer and editor and a student of the Zen teacher Cheri Huber.
