Why Did I Write the Book?

Buddhism is rooted in the simple idea that you can train your mind to suffer less and flourish more. In this experiential guide, Cortland Dahl will take you on a journey through the core principles and meditation practices of the Buddhist tradition.
This book will be the basis for an upcoming Vajrayana Online course in October. Stay tuned for more information on the course.
