  The lotus, the author points out, though rising from mud and murky water, blossoms into a beautiful flower. By following the example of the lotus, the author believes that people can grow through their own pain, delusions and fear to discover the pure and brilliant lotus within. This text offers advice on: travelling the spiritual path; mindful living; love and freedom; meditation; karma; accepting pain and suffering; healing the mind-body split; learning to co-habit respectfully with the environment; and accepting the inevitability of death with peace and joy. The text also includes guided meditations, prayers, poems, practical exercises and stories.
