We all take refuge in something. How can we take refuge in something reliable? 'Coming Home' explores refuge in Pureland Buddhism through stories of everyday life. Meet the temple cats and bunnies, and hear about being silly at the dinner table. Read about Satya's relationship tangles, her fondness of praise, and her chocolate addiction. Hear about where she finds joy, and where you can find it too. Along the way you will learn about Pureland Buddhism: our simple and accessible practice, and our realistic approach to living a good life. You will be given suggestions for how you can find refuge, how you can avoid common pitfalls, and what you can do when the going gets tough. You will feel the relief of seeing that you are an ordinary, foolish being, and that you are accepted just as you are. This book is accessible both to experienced Buddhists and to those who know nothing of Buddhism. It will help you to find your own refuges, regardless of your faith. Refuge brings us healing and happiness. It helps us to handle change, to stop blaming others and to become kinder. As we learn to lean into refuge, however we make sense of it, we will find ourselves coming home.
