Title: A myth buster!
Product review: This is a very interesting book.I started reading it after attending this year a meditation retreat with Bhante so I was ready for a spiritual story. Instead what you get is an entertaining story about a strong will person who in his lifetime managed to do a leap that is simply unimaginable for all of us. From a poor boy in Sri Lanka who did not have enough to eat to a monk having his own monastery here in US, traveling all over the world and preaching Dharmma.But the reason why I found this book interesting is because it dispels a myth for me. I always thought that Buddhist monks are above any other priests in any other religion. What you see in this book is the total opposite. The characters in this book suffer from the same human defects as anybody else and what they preach has nothing to do with what they do. Very sad, I know and the total opposite of inspirational but since it's true, we need to know.At times, the book is also funny.Thank you Bhante for telling us the truth!
