When the Buddha became enlightened, he stopped going on dates, and with good reason. For most us, the mating game occupies time that might be spent pursuing our true bliss, and we fall into traps of fear and desire, sabotaging any attempt at forging a lasting, rewarding relationship. This book intends to guide us off the dysfunctional merry-go-round with these five steps towards harmoniously entwining spiritual and romantic pursuits: preparation, awakening desire (to decipher what you are truly looking for), entering the sacred fire of romantic attachment, keeping loyal to your self, and learning to go deeper into new realms of romantic intimacy. You will also learns to make peace with parents (in order to avoid repeating their mistakes), to practice couples meditation, and to accept the impermanence of any relationship, i.e. to conquer co-dependence and let go, as we ultimately must towards all attachments. IF THE BUDDHA DATED relays all this and a wealth of other valuable wisdom simply and eloquently, with a welcome dash of humor besides.

IF THE BUDDHA DATED
Dating is such a fraught situation. After attending several Zen Buddhist meditation retreats over the past few years, I began to wonder if perhaps there was a spiritual path to dating. And then, grabbed by its title, I found this book on OVERSTOCK. It's especially relevant right now as so many of us let computers do our choosing, matching us up on superficial factors instead of following our own heart's deep true wisdom. This week I laughed to see the headline about a 106-year-old woman still seeking 'the one' -- but truth be told, dating is almost always with us, like death and taxes. The author is a Buddhist, a Quaker, a therapist, and a raft of other good things which give her a cogent sense of spiritual balance. Without being pushy or preachy, she gently guides readers to articulate what inner qualities they seek in a partner, and pinpoints the pluses and minuses in searching for a spiritual counterpart. Well, this book has taught me there's more to life than cute, witty boys who make girls cry --just maybe there might be an alternative for someone like me, until now in love with heartbreak, hopelessly single, and married to my cat. Perhaps even that Desperately-Seeking-Soulmate centenarian would benefit from this book, which provides perspective on how to date mindfully and free yourself of all that past baggage and future worry. Ommmmm!
