In the Spirit of the Buddha
an interview with Paul R. and Susan K. Fleischman.
Vipasana teachers in the tradition of S.N. Goenka, Susan K. And Paul R. Fleischman have been walking on the path of Dhamma for many decades. Paul has published various titles relating to the teachings of the Buddha and Vipassana meditation. Paul's work often bridges his experience as a seeker and meditator and his professional background in science—psychology, biology, and medicine.
The topic of this Pariyatti Presents... event of February 27 is a book that Susan and Paul have worked on together. It is a collection of prose poems entitled In the Spirit of the Buddha.
In the Spirit of the Buddha is aimed to inspire, rather than to represent the full span of the teaching of the Buddha. All compositions combine the Buddha’s thoughts with contemporary phrasing. They cannot be considered direct quotes from the Pāli Canon, because the authors have worked only with English language translations and combined similar passages, or modified the language for readability. At the same time, the authors emphasize that these words are not original to them, because they are in the spirit of the Buddha. They are sparks from the campfire that continue to glow in the dark.
