"This book is about returning to the heart, the only teacher you will ever need"
Religion, society and convention have endeavored to mold us into nice
people, yet, we are not nice. The
world is awash in stories of romantic adventures and love, yet we are not
loving. Scores of thousands have
marched for peace, yet we are not peaceful.
"We have been slapped, spanked, and shouted at; new rules and old laws
barked into our ears, yet we remain the same."
Hungry, tired and sore, we are searching
for a home we have never left.
This book is about returning to your heart, the only teacher you will
ever need. This book is about
growing naturally in a way you were designed to evolve. This book is about resting under a
gnarled tree, in its ancient shade and finding
yourself.
"The precepts in this book are Peter’s prescription for remedying the
devastating effects of the Three
Poisons: greed, anger, and delusion."
They are intended as a restorative, like resting in the shade of an old
tree. These precepts are
timeless. They do not belong to any
person, sect, or religion but are born as seeds within human hearts in every
age. These seeds grow in the soil
of inner silence, and as Peter’s life demonstrates, they flower quite naturally
when this condition is watered and cultivated.
