The poems John shares in this collection are deeply personal. They offer a glimpse into decades of devoted practice--living out the teachings of the Buddhist masters of our age. His poems transport readers to a cave in Nepal, a hut in Tibet, and along the banks of a Wyoming river. But, perhaps, John's greatest gift is his direct transmission of the Dharma to his audience.
Inside the pages of this book readers get a good look inside the mind of a man on a spiritual oddessy. It depicts reflections on navigating a Buddhist trek of human experience. Filled with devotional insights (sometimes raw, often humorous and painful, and occasionally rebellious) the book is a delightful read and a refreshing taste of spirituality.
In this rich sampling of John's poems--64 of them--he provides deep insight into Buddhist teachings and the path to relieve suffering. The book's compact size makes this collection a wonderful trekking companion.
