\"\"<\/a>From today\u2019s Shambhala Sunspace<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n

Readers of the Shambhala Sun may recall James Ishmael Ford from his article, \u201cI Want to Be\u2026 Peaceful,\u201d which kicked off our July 2012 issue\u2019s special section on Buddhist<\/a> meditations. Now Ford \u2014 who is also a guiding teacher of the rapidly-growing practice network, Boundless Way Zen<\/a>, has a new book out called If You\u2019re Lucky, Your Heart Will Break: Field Notes from a Zen Life<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re pleased to share with you here one of that book\u2019s early chapters, entitled \u201cEarthquakes\u201c<\/p>\n

Go here for the chapter.<\/a><\/p>\n

Hope you like it.<\/p>\n

And if you find it compelling, perhaps you\u2019ll follow the link to the publisher they provided, or, pick it up at your local bookstore.<\/p>\n
