This book examines and explains the teachings from the First Buddha, while weaving in modern ideas, translations, and examples from a Mother Buddha. The author dives into all the struggles, hurdles, and pain that have led her to find her own Enlightenment in this modern age. This book attempts to follow the example of the wise teachings of the First Buddha. Mother Buddha simply longs to share her own story with openness and vulnerability, in an attempt to help others find their way to a peaceful mind, even while surrounded by adversity.
Writing this book has been a profoundly personal process for me. In my own search for direction, purpose, and happiness I found comfort in Buddhist teachings. I also found archaic examples, overly complicated explanations, and unintentionally sexist language in many of my textbooks. I wanted to write a book that examined the practice of Buddhism not just in the modern world, but also from a female's perspective. I wanted to add my own life lessons to the growing collection of female voices calling for more peace, compassion, and understanding.
