description: Love Dharma combines the advice and humor of a great relationship book with the wisdom and compassion of a book on Buddhism. Author Geri Larkin offers wisdom relevant to today's relationships in the fascinating stories of Buddhist women who have achieved enlightenment. Although these women lived 2,500 years ago, during the time of the Buddha, their tales are still relevant today because they were able to transform personal disappointments or tragedies into personal triumphs by applying the Buddha's wisdom in their daily life. Readers will learn from: -- the story of Ambapali, an independent and wealthy businesswoman who enjoyed many satisfying relationships without compromising her needs.-- the story of Mallika, who would have terrible arguments with her husband over the Buddha's teachings -- until he also became a disciple.-- the story of Capa who survived the loss of her lover with grace.Combining ancient Buddhist texts and personal anecdotes, author Geri Larkin, herself an ordained dharma teacher, presents sound, if uncommon, advice. She offers her light-hearted, humorous "crazy wisdom" to readers looking for new ways to deal with their relationships
