Autism and Buddhist Practice

Rezensionen / Stimmen

Building on his pioneering work exploring pathways into the Dharma made by and for autistic and other neurodiverse practitioners, Chris Jarrell has produced a priceless resource for anyone trying to understand the deep connections between identity, cognitive modes, and the way the mind can be re-channelled to move us away from habitual suffering towards freedom. -- Candradasa, author of Buddhism for Teens A snapshot into the navigation of Buddhism through an autistic lens, Jarrell creates space for all types of teachers and practitioners to dig deeper into their awareness, acceptance, and love -- Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Change This wonderful collection of experiences written by people affected by autism sheds light on neurodivergence with inspiring stories of how Buddhist practice and understanding has directly helped those contributing. Anyone wanting to better understand this condition, and the experience of people with Autism accessing Buddhist communities, teaching and practice will find this a fascinating and moving read. Miso soup for the soul!" -- Devin Ashwood, Director of the Gaia House Buddhist retreat centre and father to autistic children.
