Romancing the Buddha - 4th Edition

Embracing Buddhism in My Everyday Life

By: Michael Lisagor

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Based on his 55 years of daily Buddhist practice, Mike Lisagor reveals how Buddhism - which offers teachings of personal and social transformation - has helped him deal with his wife's serious illness, his own childhood trauma, and the death of his sister. Here too is hard-won wisdom on relationships, with powerful insights on marriage and parenting. Great for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.
This new edition was updated in October 2024 and includes an overview of SGI Nichiren Buddhism, a glossary of Buddhist terms, and a reader's guide. A free Flipbook version of this book and Mike's three other buddhist-themed books can be found at BooksByMike.org.
Mike lives with his wife of 55 years and his harmonica on an island in the Pacific Northwest. A YouTube video of his 45 minute one-man show can be viewed at www.romancingthebuddha.com.

It helps us understand the intimate connection between resolving conflicts in one's personal life and working effectively for peace on a global scale." - Richard E.
