It's still not always easy. Still I have to try. I seem to have to try with everything, but I remember
something. The Buddha spoke of a divine way to exist. I've tried to understand the divine for years, but
it always seemed to elude me. I've heard friends talk about the divine, I've been to classes on the
divine, I've read about the divine, and now I'm going to try and live in the divine.
We can be the enigmatic and beautiful people who end up here.
Michael Janes was introduced to Buddhism in the midst of his recovery from drug addiction. Realizing
that the selfishness he grew accustomed to no longer applied Michael sought to change. A vast
collection of personal notes became his inspiration to write a book.
Innermore is a snapshot of the roughly one thousand pages of Michael's writings that were put together
over his nearly twenty years of spiritual practice. It follows his quest to try and understand people,
society, and ultimately himself.
Michael seemed to always be searching for something. He longed for meaningful connection, but found
that this connection was not easy for him. Instead of growing discouraged Michael decided to express
himself through words on paper. Using poetry, imagery and plenty of imagination he ended up painting
a picture of his world as he was living it. The result was unexpected. Michael found the connection he
was looking for, and he transformed his life.
You're invited to come explore Michael's journey in this one-of-a-kind book! It is a unique telling of
the Buddhist experience playing out real time in one man's life. It transformed Michael, and it can do
the same for you.
