Pariyatti Presents... An Interview with Ven. S. Dhammika

"Footprints in the Dust enables us get to know the Buddha as a human being a deeply compassionate and wise person who not only actualized the path to enlightenment but also shared the way to accomplish that path with countless others so that they too may gain supreme peace. We learn of the challenges Gotama faced many similar to our own and how he dealt with them. We see his responses when praised and blamed, when confronted with crises within the Order and disputes among kings and couples. We see how he guided monastic and lay disciples with their diverse personalities and dispositions. In getting an insider s glimpse into how his wisdom and compassion manifested when engaged in situations that we too may experience, we learn how to work in a constructive way with whatever life brings us. This is an inspiring and engaging book that you will read and reread many times.
—Bhiksuni Thubten Chodron, Dharma teacher, author, and abbess of Sravasti Abbey
