Back Cover:
Dharma from the Heartland
When we embark upon a spiritual path, somehow we believe (or hope) that it will be straight and smooth, a reward for making a moral, uplifting, wholesome choice. Few of us realize the obstacles that we must negotiate, or how steep and treacherous such a path can be. The reality is that spiritual enlightenment is a lot like learning how to walk: we stand up, we fall, we take a step, we fall, we take a couple more steps, we fall, we take some more steps, we fall, we start to run, we fall, we run, we fallā¦ until we finally fly.
Stumbling Toward Enlightenment has evolved out of the constant requests for written copies of the dharma talks given by the author at the Ann Arbor Buddhist Temple and the Chicago Zen Buddhist Temple. It has become her promise to stand with us, right beside us, as we stumble along the path that has brought her so much joy, heartache, peace, confusion, and finally, self-knowledge. Her style is honest, earthy, often wildly funny, and even a little bit scrappy. This is not stern, dry detached Zen. This is accessible Zen. This is Zen from the heartland.
Care of Dharma (Buddhist) Books:
Dharma books contain sacred teachings and should be treated with respect. When not in use, keep them in a clean place, preferably on a high shelf. Avoid placing them directly on the floor or in places where they might be mistreated. If a Dharma book becomes damaged or worn, consider offering it to a Buddhist centre for proper handling or respectful disposal. By caring for these books, we honour the wisdom they contain and the path they illuminate.
This pre-loved copy carries wisdom and blessings, ready to find a new home with a reader who seeks inspiration and spiritual enrichment.
