Synopsis:
New edition. The author describes with genuine humour and candour his astonishing transformation from a middle-aged English businessman into a practising Buddhist monk of the Thai tradition in a book full of valuable insights.
"This book offers a highly readable account of beginning again and realistically points out the pitfalls and rewards for the Westerner who chooses to follow the path of the Buddhist monk in Thailand." Bangkok Post.
"His book is both a voyage of spiritual discovery and a self-deprecating, humerous tale of a bumbling six-foot farang (foreign) monk whose robes keep falling off." Phuket Gazette.
"This is a delightful little book that should be read by anyone with an interest in the practice of Buddhism. Both Thai and Western readers will gain valuable and often amusing insights into some of the problems faced by Westerners who are ordained as Buddhist monks." William Page, The Nation. |
