Read an Excerpt

Because we all have something of Buddhahood hidden inside us, devotional practice can put us in touch with unexplored potentials within ourselves-our own wisdom, our compassion, our nobility, our strength, our capacity for enlightened action, and our own inner teacher. By helping us uncover our own hidden riches in this way, Buddhist devotional practice can be a potent technique for bringing out our own neglected powers.
