Description
The World Could Be Otherwise: Imagination and the Bodhisattva Path In times of uncertainty, we often wish the world could be otherwise. With a touch of imagination, it can be. Norman Fischer explores the Buddhist teaching of the six paramitas, or "perfections", qualities that lead to kindness, wisdom, and an awakened life. This inspiring reframe of a classic Buddhist teaching offers a necessary resource for our troubled times. Fischer depicts imaginative spiritual practice as a way to reconfigure our world, from everyday concerns to artistic inspirations and broadest human yearnings. By applying the paramitas, we can shape-shift reality's roiling twisting waves and find a more awakened way of living. This book invites you to explore the potential of imagination and the bodhisattva path in your own life.
