If the Buddha Dated:
Zen and the art of falling in love...
At once practical, playful, and spiritually sound, this book is about creating a new love story in our lives. Drawing from Christian, Buddhist, Sufi [Mystical Islam], and other spiritual traditions, If the Buddha Dated shows how to find a partner without losing yourself. Dr. Charlotte Sophia Kasl (author of If the Buddha Married), a practicing psychotherapist, workshop leader, and Reiki healer for 30 years, offers practical wisdom on using the path to love as a means of awakening. If the Buddha Dated teaches that when you stay loyal to your spiritual journey, you will bring curiosity, fascination, and a light-heart back to the dating process. More
