We all have the seed or “essence” of Buddha within us.

Because we do, we have the potential to become a Buddha.

Here, Elizabeth Clare Prophet gently traces upon the heart the pathway that can lead to Buddhahood. She helps us relate to the different stages and also see them as steps that we can accomplish in our daily lives. You also gain insight into the path of the bodhisattva and practicing bodhicitta – the compassionate heart. Included are Buddhist mantras for wisdom and compassion.

The Buddhic Essence, Ten Stages to Becoming a Buddha is the second book in Elizabeth Clare Prophet’s series Mystical Paths of the World’s Religions.
