About The Book

In this delightful memoir Bhante Walpola Piyananda a Buddhist monk from Sri Lanka shares his often amusing often poignant experiences of life in America. Whether he's reasoning with a group of confrontational punks on Venice Beach bridging the gap between a rebellious teenager and her traditional parents explaining to an errant Buddhist that the concept of non-attachment does not justify irresponsibility or dealing with a nude sunbather at a meditation retreat no situation-no matter how sticky-manages to affect Bhante's unflappable calm or his phenomenal ability to find the right parable for the moment. Bhante Walpola Piyananda who is abbot of a Buddhist meditation center in L.A. has met and counseled a wide range of people-the disenfranchised of society couples dealing with relationship issues American Buddhists trying to reconcile their practice with their very Western lifestyles recent immigrants struggling to assimilate but also maintain their traditional values. His stories reveal the complicated joyous painful baffling and inspiring aspects of the human condition and the power of true compassion.
