The Day of a Buddhist Practitioner

by Bokar Rinpoche

Giving up the ordinary activities of the mundane world to devote ourselves to spiritual practice alone would create an ideal condition for inner growth. This is possible for very few individuals. For the rest of us who must juggle work, family, friends, and deal with all kinds of emotions, ways to integrate our spiritual practice into daily life are much needed. This book gives us this guidance in a variety of situations so we can become more mindful about our daily life.
