description: "Seated in the cave of our hearts is freedom. And knowing this makes me laugh out loud. I spent so many years getting overeducated, overmanicured, overhoused, overautomated, overeverything'd in an effort to find personal peace. But it turns out I've been carrying freedom-pure happiness-in the cave of my heart all along. This must be one of the great cosmic jokes of our time."So begins Tap Dancing in Zen, Geri Larkin's sequel to Stumbling Towards Enlightenment. She's back, and she's more delightful than ever. The dharma talks collected here are inspired by a sutra taken from a collection of the teachings of the Buddha. The particular sutra that has Geri fired up is the Metta Sutra, or sutra of loving kindness. This particular teaching is a pure rendition of not just the Buddha's teachings on love, but of the guidelines that lead us directly into the cave of our hearts-into the peace and joy that is our natural birthright. It is the Zen light that shows us the path that we are trying to find. Sometimes neurotic, sometimes compassionate, and always humorous and wise, Geri Larkin is the perfect partner-whether you're still stumbling or finally ready to dance.
