Pulling a raisin out of a two-year-old’s nose probably wasn’t on Buddha’s path to enlightenment
By Polly Campbell
Viva Editions, $15.95, 282 pages
Imperfect Spirituality is filled with practical tips and dozens of examples that will encourage readers to boost their optimism, live free of worry, and embrace their authentic selves, with the goal of reaching true enlightenment. Campbell believes that for people in the western world, the largest obstacle to enlightenment is an obsession with perfection, inherited from their Calvinistic forbears. This obsession prevents them from achieving enlightenment and their full potential. Imperfect Spirituality posits that the path to enlightenment begins exactly where you are right now – every moment of our lives is a sacred opportunity to be present and to increase our capacity to give and receive love. Opening this book at any page will provide readers with stories and practical tips that illuminate a path to enlightenment.
