Synopsis "In the Spirit of the Buddha (in English)"
This collection of prose poems is based upon the teaching of the Buddha. The selections have been chosen for inspiration, rather than representing the full span of the teaching. We have previously presented them as slides, or read them aloud to friends, on various occasions, such as after workshops, following assistant teacher meetings, around fireplaces in national parks, or after evening metta. They have consistently been received with appreciation, and have evoked multiple requests for their publication. All of these compositions combine the Buddha's thoughts with contemporary phrasing. They cannot be considered direct quotes from the Pali Canon, because we have worked only with English language translations, and because we have combined similar passages, or modified the language for readability. But at the same time, we can't claim that these words are original to us because they are in the spirit of the Buddha. They are brief, poetic, re-speaking of some of the Buddha's most important ideas. They are sparks from the campfire that continue to glow in the dark.
