Open to all. 

Home is Here builds on foundational Buddhist teachings--the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path--offering an intersectional frame to help practitioners embody antiracist practices and tend to their own healing under racism and oppression.

Grounded in practice, memoir, and mindful self-help skill-building, Rev. Liên Shutt's Engaged Four Noble Truths illuminate a path toward healing and liberation. While written mainly for Asian American Buddhists and other BIPOC practitioners, Home is Here moves us all from knowing and contemplation to a place of action and wholeness. In the doing is the realization, and in practicing antiracism, we build a home for all beings. 

“Having known Reverend Shutt for more than twenty years, it gives me an inspired joy that she has offered a path… a journey… a practice, in the broadest sense of the word, through the suffering of oppression and supremacy that is endemic in our world. In that way, she has shown that the suffering, the way through the suffering, and the teachings are universal—and how to use our specific social locations for the benefit of the greater whole, without being used by them.”—Larry Yang

“This book will benefit everyone! Presenting a powerful and fresh look at core Buddhist teachings, it offers innovative and effective ways to free ourselves from the bondage and illusions of white supremacy culture and a compassionate, accessible path to experiencing that we are already whole.”—Kaira Jewel Lingo
