<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this lively and personal book, three acclaimed Buddhist teachers from different traditions come together to offer unorthodox wisdom for living well through difficult times. Sylvia Boorstein, Zoketsu Norman Fischer, and Tsoknyi Rinpoche draw on their own experiences with suffering, as well as their many years of practice, to illustrate how we can find serenity and compassion in even the most stressful situations. "Solid Ground" offers humor, insight, and practical advice as well as five guided meditations for soothing our thoughts and increasing our capacity for equanimity and joy.<BR><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A lively, topical guide on how to respond to life's inevitable difficulties--from personal crises to broader societal challenges</b> <p/> The issue of difficulty in life is at the very essence of Buddhism. One can reasonably translate the first noble truth as, "life is full of difficulties," with the remaining noble truths serving as Buddhism's analysis of those difficulties and how to work with them. In <i>Solid Ground</i>, celebrated Buddhist teachers Sylvia Boorstein, Zoketsu Norman Fisher, and Tsoknyi Rinpoche use their diverse wisdom to address the immediate and practical concerns of our lives, including individual crises as well as the political, economic, and social challenges society is currently facing. Together, they explore the most basic and profound questions of Buddhism: the difficulty of life in general and how we can work with that and ameliorate it. <p/> Filled with humor and personal stories, <i>Solid Ground</i> offers specific teachings for concrete situations as well as a way to explore the larger questions of finding equanimity in difficult times.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sylvia Boorstein</b> teaches mindfulness and leads retreats across the United States.
