A work to encourage and inspire，The book offers anecdotes and stories grounded in the everyday and drawn from the author's 25years' experience of teaching and practising Buddhist meditation.
The Buddhist teachings have the power to transform our lives for the better，says Salzberg，and all we need to bring about this transformation can be found in the ordinary events of our everyday experiences. Salzberg distills more than 25 years of teaching and practicing meditation into a series of short essays, rich with anecdotes and personal revelations, that offer genuine aid and comfort for anyone on the spiritual path.
Many chance moments, both small and profound，serve as the basis for Salzberg's teachings：hearing a market stall hawker calling "I have what you need!"; noting hotel guests' reactions to a midnight fire alarm; watching her teacher，Dipa Ma, bless a belligerent dog; seeing the Dalai Lama laughing uproariously at his own mistake. Each passing moment can help us down the path toward "a seamlessness of connection and an unbounded heart."
