Walking

Buddha’s

Path

Acknowledgements

I am forever grateful to Nawy, for enduring my hours at the computer writing this story. It took away from precious time we had together at an important juncture in our relationship. She cared for me while I wrote, despite feeling ignored.

I also need to thank Lama Surya Das, his book “Buddha Is As Buddha Does” focused my thoughts and energy towards the Bodhisattva Vow. I have been traveling towards this Vow my entire life; he brought the next steps into view with this book. His book is a rich resource if you desire to know more about the Bodhisattva Way.

I would add that this is a fictional story, though much is based in truth. Certainly the spiritual parts are indicative of where I am on this path today. I haven’t changed many names, as you are unlikely to know these people in real life. Unless you are part of my inner circle of friends you will be unable to find them in the world today.

Finally, I must thank the Universe, The One, Spirit, or whatever name you choose to place on God, for providing me the path to know what is presented here, the ability to say what I have tried to say, and the peace that comes from practicing what I preach.
