Kindling Hope: Daily Passages from Darkness into Light

PEI’s Pownal Street Press will release Kindling Hope: Daily Passages from Darkness into Light by Zhen-Ru, translated by the PEI-based Amrita Translation Foundation in collaboration with Kacy Lin, on April 29.

This book is filled with insight and encouragement—to be kind, ethical, forgiving, and loving. It offers peace, solace and support for living joyfully in the current world. With each passage, readers are invited to enter a life of joy, and to sometimes shift perspectives. A collection from Buddhist teacher Zhen-Ru, these short passages and musings invoke the stillness needed for daily contemplation. Available for the first time in English, each passage aims to help readers access the compassion, understanding and gratitude that is needed to hold space for each other and for the earth.

Zhen-Ru was born into a family of educators. As a child, she began thinking deeply about existential questions. After extensive reading and research, she was determined to raise her consciousness by instilling the Buddha’s teaching into her own life. She left the traditional education system and traveled extensively throughout Asia, studying and learning from Tibetan spiritual teachers.
