David Franklin Sparks, Shantideva

Queering Shantideva's the Way of the Bodhisattva

A Buddhist Classic in Contemporary Queer Vernacular

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Class has been in session for over 1300 years. When Shantideva first served these verses at Nalanda University in 8th Century India, he didn't just teach - he levitated, gagged and entire institution, and left behind a masterclass in spiritual awakening that has been slaying ever since. The Way of the Bodhisattva isn't just ancient tea - it's the ultimate guide to transforming yourself through compassion and wisdom. Now, this timeless Buddhist classic struts onto the modern stage in contemporary queer vernacular. Neither a commentary nor a paraphrase, this verse-by-verse translation maintains the profound wisdom of the original Sanskrit while expressing the teachings in the vibrant language of our culture. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to Buddhist thought, this fresh translation makes Shantideva's wisdom accessible without losing any of its transcendent fierceness.

Autorenporträt

Let me spill some tea about our fierce author, David Franklin Sparks! This multifaceted queen isn't just serving one type of realness - he's a Buddhist practitioner, writer, musician, and drag performer who knows how to werk it in multiple venues, honey. As the musical artist dFRAE and the drag persona Fancy Sparkles, David brings creativity and authenticity to everything he touches. But his true passion? Making Buddhist teachings accessible and relevant to the LGBTQ+ community. After years of studying and practicing Buddhism while navigating queer life, David saw the need for a spiritual guide that spoke our language. That's what led him to write "Queering the Path to Enlightenment," bringing together his love for Buddhism and his commitment to the LGBTQ+ community. When he's not busy making the Dharma fabulous or producing indie pop bops, David's probably somewhere being the living embodiment of bringing together spiritual wisdom and queer joy.
