Publisher's Summary

Hey you! Yes, you with the fabulous energy! This isn't your grandma's Buddhist guide (unless your grandma's a fierce drag queen, in which case, can we meet her?). Get ready to embark on a Buddhist journey that's as queer as a three-dollar bill and twice as valuable. Welcome to the Queering the Path to Enlightenment series - where mindfulness meets fabulousness, and enlightenment comes with a side of sass.

This spiritual guide series translates traditional Buddhist lamrim teachings through a vibrant queer lens. Author and narrator David Franklin Sparks offers a fresh, accessible interpretation of these ancient wisdom teachings, tailored specifically for LGBTQ+ seekers and their allies.

Queering the Path to Enlightenment: Beginning the Journey, the first installment of the trilogy, focuses on the lower scope of the lamrim. It provides a solid foundation for spiritual growth while celebrating queer identity and experiences, exploring fundamental Buddhist concepts with a fabulous twist.

What sets this book apart is its unique voice. Sparks infuses traditional Buddhist wisdom with queer culture, slang, and humor, making complex concepts relatable and engaging. It's like getting advice from a wise, sassy queer elder.

Key features include:

  • Queer-specific examples and analogies
  • Practical advice for applying Buddhist teachings to LGBTQ+ life challenges
  • Empowering affirmations for queer spiritual seekers
  • A balance of humor and profound spiritual insights
  • Inclusive language embracing LGBTQ+ diversity

Whether you're a seasoned Buddhist practitioner looking for a fresh perspective, or you're new to Buddhism but intrigued by its potential to support your queer journey, this book offers a compassionate, insightful, and often hilarious guide to starting your spiritual glow-up.
