The Resource City dharma : keeping your cool in the chaos, Arthur Jeon

City dharma : keeping your cool in the chaos, Arthur Jeon

Creator
Summary
It's one thing to lead a focused and peaceful life in the quiet seclusion of an ashram or monastery, but what about where most of us actually live--in a noisy metropolis or bustling suburb, constantly inundated with the world's latest disturbing news? Author Jeon suggests that it's not what happens to us, but how we react to events and thoughts that causes most of our suffering. Offering practical ways to overcome daily stresses and the crazy-making reactivity of our own minds, he teaches you how to keep your cool even when the road to enlightenment leads you straight through downtown at rush hour. Drawing wisdom from the ancient Eastern teachings of Advaita Vedanta and filled with engaging stories, City Dharma offers a new way of seeing the world--one that is based on connection rather than separation, direct experience rather than belief, and love instead of fear.--From publisher description
