At Home in the Muddy Water: The Zen of Living with Everyday

At Home in the Muddy Water: The Zen of Living with Everyday Chaos, 1st Edition

May we exist like a lotus, at home in the muddy water. Thus we bow to life as it is. This verse, often recited in Zen retreats, is an important reminder, says Ezra Bayda, of what the spiritual life is really about: the willingness to open ourselves to whatever life presentsâ€”no matter how messy or complicated. Through that willingness we discover wisdom, compassion, and the genuine life we all want. Bayda applies this simple Zen teaching to a range of concerns from everyday lifeâ€”including relationships, trust, sexuality, and moneyâ€”showing that we have all the material we need for practice right here before us, and that peace and fulfillment is available to everyone, right here, right now, no matter what the circumstances.
