Beschreibung
Klappentext: We have all had glimpses from the far shore, where with openness we experience and are fully in touch with ourselves. From the far shore we see with honesty, clarity, and true acceptance.
The Far shore offers reflections on this experience in everyday life, and is addressed to all who are drawn to the path of awareness and compassion.
