In contact with Buddha

This book is an invitation. It wants to take you on a journey through an ordinary day. Every day, no matter how ordinary, every experience, no matter how seemingly trivial, is able to connect us to the deeper meaning of life. For everything in the universe, down to the smallest particles, is interconnected in a common web. In Touch with Buddha invites us to trace this network of life in the many facets of our daily lives. Based on the Avatamsaka Sutra, one of the Buddha's teachings, Irmentraud Schlaffer sets out with us to appreciate every single moment of our lives in the inconspicuous monotony of our everyday activities, awake and attentive.
