Turning Homeward

by Jampa Jaffe

Overview

The quality of our life is the quality of our minds. If we truly want a better life, then we need to change our minds. It’s as simple and as challenging as that.
From the point of view of Buddhism, change is a journey that involves traveling a path. A path is the means by which we move from where we are at now to where we want to get to. It’s the path that empowers us and imbues us with the skills necessary to attain the better life that we want.
In a brief and accessible manner, Turning Homeward describes the Buddhist path, an awakening of our hearts and minds—the why behind it, the way of traveling it, and where it leads.
