He provides an inspiring example of what it means to live a life in alignment with the Buddhadharma. “Like the stories of the wisest and kindest of grandfathers. A joy to read.” —Sylvia Boorstein, author of Pay Attention for Goodness’ Sake “Tremendously inspiring. It both breaks down illusions and over-idealism about Buddhism and gives a vision of how to attain the highest in our lifetimes. An old, humble monk reflecting on his arrogant youth has invaluable lessons for all of us.” —Sumi Loundon, author of Sitting Together Inspirational, charming, and delightfully accessible—we are left with the image of a good man who has lived an extraordinary life, and that this kind of life is within reach of all of us.” —Branches of Light “This plain-English look back at years of an a mixture of adversity, humility, and hard-won wisdom tells an engaging story that non-Buddhists can appreciate as well as Buddhists.” —Publishers Weekly
