Spacious Passion

My first book is called Spacious Passion.  It was published in 2007 and then re-published by Aro Books worldwide in 2009.  As well as being available as a book—in paperback and hardback—I have also offered it as a web site where it can be viewed for free in its entirety: spacious-passion.org.

The subject matter of Spacious Passion is the Four Thoughts that turn the Mind to Practice, which—when taken to heart—enable us to learn to live as Dharma warriors.  It examines “the extraordinarily precious opportunity to live as an honourable human being; the experience of impermanence that pervades our existence as an opportunity to awaken; the emotional and psychological patterning which dominates our lives; and the seemingly endless cycle of dissatisfaction in which we imprison ourselves.”

The Four Thoughts teach us everything we need to know to be authentic practitioners. We can embrace the gentleness, kindness, and immaculacy of the warrior. We can embrace the dynamic energy, fierceness, and directness of the warrior. We can realise the potential of non-dual view on a moment by moment basis.
