Summary
A clear and empowering antidote to our culture’s never-ending quest for more, The Empty Path is a how-to manual for cultivating the Buddhist principle of emptiness as the source of fundamental satisfaction in our lives. By exploring this often-misunderstood core teaching, author Billy Wynne dispels the common misconception that peace and fulfillment come via accumulation or achievement. Instead, he presents “the art of lessening” as the path to appreciating the depth and beauty contained in each moment. Wynne uses real-life examples and accessible practices to help us realize our inherent wholeness, overcome the barriers to lasting happiness, and replace anxiety with unbounded gratitude and ease.
Billy Wynne has studied Buddhism and mindfulness for thirty years. He received lay Zen Buddhist ordination from the Zen Center of Denver, where he teaches classes and serves on the board. After a career spent traveling the world with an NGO and working as a health and well-being entrepreneur, he is now a certified meditation teacher and mindfulness-based coach.
