The Logic of Faith

"I welcome The Logic of Faith with both excitement and relief. To generations of Western practitioners habituated to linear thinking, the Buddha's central teaching of Pratityasamutpada has remained a hidden jewel, taken as either too obvious to be interesting (as ‘everything has a cause’) or too arcane to be relevant to real life. Elizabeth Namgyel not only grasps, but conveys with fresh immediacy and delight the essence of this key to the Dharma. She helps us to experience the reciprocity at the heart of the universe—and, in so doing, rediscover our mutual belonging and the sheer grace of our existence." --Joanna Macy, author of Coming Back to Life and Mutual Causality in Buddhism and Systems Theory
