Book Description HTML

Buddhadasa Bhikku (1906-1993) is one of the most important Buddhist teachers of the twentieth century. As the meditation master of Suan Mokkh Meditation Center in Chaiya, southern Thailand, he propagated Buddhist philosophy and meditation practice among tens of thousands of western visitors from North America, Europe and Australia. When he passed away in 1993, he left behind a massive body of literary works in Thai language, explaining how traditional Buddhist teachings are relevant to the modern world. He inspired generations of teachers, intellectuals, and activists who have spread out across the world, to translate his teachings into practice. He is one of the founders of modern socially engaged Buddhism, and was a key person in the reformation of 20th century Thai Buddhism.

    Canceris My Name by Renee Robinson Hi,thank you for giving me the opportunity to read and review your book.I found the detail and quality of the poetry very intriguing andhopeful. Your book can give many others hope. What I really likedabout your book is that it was broad. The poems and journal entriesmade me shudder and gasp as I read chilling details about your fightwith cancer. And the I really enjoyed the humor in the BRA poem"con-"trap"-tion" and the dog poem. This bookreally pulled at my heart in so many ways. I gave it a positivereview because I know how hard it is to share intimate details aboutyourself and struggles. I did have to notate the grammatical errorsand I wasn't sure if the formatting was off or not (and I mentionedthat it might be my reader's fault). But I was so happy to read aboutyou at the end and see that you have other works at the end of thebook. Good luck with everything and thank you for sharing your work.
