So often, people talk about searching for truth as though it requires going on a dangerous and difficult quest. Truth becomes something hidden in a cave in a far-off land instead of something right in front of us.
But author David Baker Garrison believes that a truth is something you can put faith in day after day-something that knows no geographic or ethnic boundaries and is not confined by time, distance, gender, religion, or age.
A truth is something that lives in your back pocket, ready to be pulled out as a reference card at a moment's notice.
A truth is something as simple and powerful as a smile.
Open your mind to eleven life-changing truths that are based on the teachings of Buddhism and collected by Garrison as he observes, questions, and meditates on reality as he perceives it-and as he ultimately holds it up to the facsimiles of existence promoted by pundits and popular culture.
If you yearn for peace, deeper understanding, or simple tools to change your life, you don't have to undertake an arduous journey. Just pick up this book.
