The eight chapters of this small book follow a similar theme
to that of Unexpected Freedom, published in 2005. The second
chapter in that book was titled ‘We Are All Translators’, and
was aimed especially at encouraging readers to discern the
relevance of the Buddhist teachings as they moved from
East to West. The Buddha didn’t want his followers to
merely believe in him. And he didn’t teach simply so that
scholars might argue over what he said. He was clear in
his invitation for all those interested in truth to take the
teachings inwards and learn to see for themselves that path
which leads to freedom from suffering.
