Approaching Enlightenment : A Guidebook for Buddhist Ritual

Ritual is the area of Buddhist practice that receives the least amount of attention.This book is for both sceptical and enquiring practitioners.Combining research in psychology and cultural studies and the author's own practice, Bodhidasa draws out the liberatory potential of Buddhist ritual.The Sevenfold Puja or Seven-Limbed practice is the focus of the book, and through it many other ritual activities, symbols and implements are explained.More than a book 'about' Buddhist ritual, this is a personal guide to assist the reader to move more deeply 'into' its practice and benefit from its fruits.
