The Buddhist Enneagram - by Susan Piver (Paperback)

About the Book

"The Buddhist Enneagram is a deeply personal exploration of Buddhist teachings on liberation from suffering and how the enneagram illuminates the way. This work is not an academic overview of interesting correlations between the systems. Rather, it shows how the enneagram gives powerful insight into your unique spiritual journey and how you can support others in theirs" -- https://www.amazon.com/Buddhist-Enneagram-Nine-Paths-Warriorship/dp/17369439

"I was unfamiliar with the enneagram but have now come to see its value thanks to Susan's skillful presentation of it. I see now that the enneagram can help us build healthy relationships and that it is a dharma, and I appreciate how working with it can be a spiritual practice. Bows to Susan who, once again, opens doors where I never guessed there were any."
