Mindfulness in daily living
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a life altering book, useful for all. It is an uplifting simple, lighthearted, daily guide to the awareness of everyday blessings. One of my favorites is being appreciative of my feet taking me on a jog as I tie my shoelaces with conviction. A must for everyone interested in a mindful life.
Buddhism American Style for the Rest of Us

Reverend Koyo Kubose's BRIGHT DAWN: Discovering Your Everyday Spirituality is a splendid introduction to basic precepts of Buddhism that can transform one's everyday life. Describing daily routines, beginning with leaving his bed and going out to run alongside Lake Michigan to greet the rising sun, Kubose illustrates in a gentle and often lighthearted way how we can develop our spiritual life in such ordinary acts as driving a car or putting on our shoes. This is a Buddhism pathway many of us can easily bring into our lives. We need not adopt the discipline of sitting meditation, traditionally practiced by Buddhist monks and others, to realize a more awakened life. For as Buddha said, there are 84,000 paths to enlightenment. With BRIGHT DAWN, Kubose offers us these "ordinary" choices for realizing "extraordinary" spirituality everyday. At book's end, the reader feels like they've spent part of a morning with someone who truly knows what a gift every new day is.

While the Ten Commandments of the Judaic-Christian-Islamic traditions are rules to live by, most people don't face down theft, adultery, and murder each day. So how can we maintain regular doses of peace and grace? The beauty of Buddhism is that its principles are designed for everyday life. Man in harmony with himself and his environ-ment is a man who is respectful, observant, appreciative, and wise. Follow Kubose on his morning ritual and open up to a wider view of yourself and the world.
