IN THE LAP OF THE BUDDHA

Gavin Harrison

Foreword by JOSEPH GOLDSTEIN

SHAMBHALA

Boston& London

1994

Foreword

I first meet Gavin Harrison in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1981. From that beginning meditation weekend, Gavin has become a longtime student, friend, and colleague whose special gifts now shine so profoundly through this book. Thought an extraordinary journey of suffering, shared in these times by so many others, Gavin has forged an understanding infused with wisdom and compassion. It is a wisdom grounded in the meditation practice of the Buddha’s teachings, and a compassion born from his own great open heart.

How do we cope with the trauma of abuse, with the on-slaughters of disease, or with the simple tribulations of our daily life? And in the midst of it all, how can we connect with the purity of awareness that remains our unfailing refuge? In the Lap of the Buddha points us to the inner strength and courage we all have, although sometimes overlook.

A deeply personal odyssey gave birth to this book. A time-less wisdom emerges from it. I am grateful to Gavin for this gift of Dharma. Only someone who lives the teachings could have written it.
