Stumbling Toward Enlightenment
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
A humorous and honest collection of Buddhist wisdom from a Western beginner'As perspective.
Instead of promising a straight and clear path to enlightenment, author and teacher Geri Larkin shows us that even stumbling along that path can lead to self-discovery and awakening, especially if we prize the journey and not the destination. With candor, affection, and earthy wisdom, Larkin shares her experiences as a beginning and continuing Buddhist. This spirituality classic shows any seeker that it's possible to stumble, smile, and stay Zen through it all.
