| Publisher Description: Easing into the Dhammapada, the second title in the "Easing Into" Collection, is designed as an appetizer, a crunchy, sometimes sweet and occasionally salty introduction to one of the oldest scriptures of the Buddhist canon. Rather than working through the Dhammapada chapter by chapter, the author guides you through the verses thematically so you'll have a strong grasp of the content of the scripture. She cites where the "great ideas" appear in the text and invites you into further study. Responsive poetry and five questions posed at the end of each chapter help stimulate small group interaction or individual journal-writing experiences. Kim holds a master's degree in comparative religion from Western Michigan University and attended the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, where she focused on adult spiritual formation. She also holds professional certificates in Hatha Yoga Therapy, Reiki and Art for Healing. Other books in the Easing Into Collection include: Easing into the Bhagavad Gita, Easing into Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, Easing into the Mahabharata, Easing into the Ramayama, Easing into the Gospel of Thomas, Easing into Lao Tzu's Tao te Ching, Easing into Druidry and Silkworms and Prayer Shawls: The Poetry of the Easing Into Collection, Volume 1. |
