Karma, Dharma and Butterflies

By Carin Holmqvist

Karma, Dharma and Butterflies is a mind opening, and at times hilarious account of the inevitable ups and downs that are part of the path to inner happiness through Vipassana meditation practice. The book begins with the author reluctantly spending three days of a Hawaii dream vacation at a New Year's retreat at a Zen center in Honolulu. Little does she know that the meeting with a teacher at the retreat will have a dramatic life changing impact on her. Along with the inner journey, there is an exotic outer journey taking place, which brings the reader from Florence, to Hawaii, French Polynesia, Burma and back to Florence again. Karma, Dharma and Butterflies is a truly inspiring book about meditation as a way to inner happiness and peace. "Happiness is like a butterfly, which when pursued is always beyond grasp, but if you sit down quietly, happiness may slight upon you."
