Sample Book Insights:

#1 I was 16 when my mother died in an automobile accident. I struggled to come to terms with the loss, and I found myself losing faith in the benevolent, omniscient God who had guided and cared for me since childhood. I turned to the world of philosophy to help me deal with my pain.

#2 The paradox at the heart of the spiritual journey is that the home I was so desperately seeking, the place I belonged, existed right here and now, inside me. I had been searching for more than 20 years before I found myself.

#3 The parable of the prodigal son is a metaphor for the journey of a spiritual practitioner. He leaves his father’s home to find some distant treasure, but ends up returning home years later, humbled and grateful for his original inheritance.

#4 The paradox of seeking and finding is present in many different traditions. In Zen, it’s known as the gateless gate. Until you crack the code and pass through, you can’t fully understand the meaning of the great Zen teachings, but all your mental effort inevitably proves fruitless before this enigmatic and impenetrable barrier.
