Welcome to Litsy!

While there are sometimes nuggets here that resonate with me, overall I find her writing opaque, circular, repetitive, and without a lot of practical application. DNF at 40%

Mi primer libro en español! Budista y profesor de ética y religión, David Loy identifica el sentido del "yo" como destructivo en el sentido de que hay una otra mitad necesaria de la cual comprendemos algo que siempre falta. Así lo llenamos de dinero, sexo, guerra y karma.

Another title from my book bundle from Arabelle Sicardi. Seems like a great resource living with/through hard times.

This is a straightforward commentary on Shantideva‘s classic text on the way of the Bodhisattva. If you enjoy books by Pema Chodron, I welcome you to dig deeper into Buddhist wisdom with this text. Norman Fischer‘s zen interpretation of this work is also excellent. ☸️ I would have preferred a print edition, but I am rich in Audible credits, so audio had to do.

Forgot to post this one. Lovely, calming, meditative. Everything Pema Chodron exudes. Love and peace.

It‘s nice to be reminded that humans have always searched for peace at heart. Saigyo‘s poems resonate with the same emotional force as they did nearly a millennium ago. 🌖
