Book Recommendation - Expand Our Spiritual Hearts by Jojavascript:void(0)hn Chyan

Congratulations to our Dharma Brother John Chyan on his new book

"Expand Our Spiritual Hearts".

"This is a book about us, a written work born when some close friends and I got together to exchange true spiritual stories and experiences, also discussing times we had helped people and considering the best ways to implement our experiences in benefiting others. As more and more people were encouraged to share their stories, I offered their anecdotes to those who needed moral support and advice, these personal words of wisdom giving the comfort of knowing that someone else had similar struggles and survived. After gathering scattered stories I had known and heard of, I decided to create a book that in its finished state was more natural and straightforward, bringing out the thoughts, words, and heart of the everyday people. This simpler yet complete compassion became the most useful tool, versatile in its ability to reach out and connect. Though it may be difficult to relate specifically to the episodes featured here, the characters themselves will certainly be embraced, their strengths and weaknesses reminding us of what makes us human and so much more." 



You can purchase the book from Amazon - Expand Our Spiritual Hearts
