RATING:B-
Interesting
tale of the travels of a monk at the early stages of the Western
world's discovery of Buddhism. I particularly tuned in to the Bodh
Gaya information. On page 95, it gave a quote from an author I admire
concerning the 'TV, radio, newspaper, speakers' now appearing in city
monasteries. Well, I do not live in a monastery, but I do not use
three of those four!
I was
smiling to hear of familiar places to me near the end of the book -
Stanmore being a railway station I have often been thru and the Blue
Mountains being where my son and I took our last shared vacation
together.
