In class last week I was reminded of a simple, beautiful teaching I learned when I first started practicing Buddhist meditation and that I’ve never forgotten.

One of my dearest friends, Tanmeet Sethi, has a book, Joy is My Justice, launching on May 2 from Hachette Go, a new imprint with a mission to give people the best information on how to change their lives for the better. 

Would you name curiosity as an essential ingredient of the spiritual life? It surely is if you’re on the Buddhist path.
