'Buddhist Boot Camp' Author Coming Sunday to Laguna Beach Books

Timber Hawkeye explains how to "be a soldier of peace in the army of love."

Submitted by Laguna Beach Books:

On Sunday, March 3, at 4 p.m., Laguna Beach Books is pleased to welcome Timber Hawkeye, author of Buddhist Boot Camp. There is no charge for this event.

Buddhism is all about training the mind, and boot camp is an ideal training method for this generation's short attention span. The chapters in this small book can be read in any order, and are simple and easy to understand. Each story, inspirational quote and teaching offers mindfulness-enhancing techniques that anyone can relate to. You don't need to be a Buddhist to find this book motivational. As the Dalai Lama says, "Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are."

Whether it's Mother Teresa's acts of charity, Gandhi's perseverance, or your aunt Betty's calm demeanor, it doesn't matter who inspires you, so long as you're motivated to be better today than you were yesterday. Regardless or religion or geographical region, race, ethnicity, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, flexibility, or vulnerability, if you do good, you feel good, and if you do bad, you feel bad.
