This book deserves a wide audience
As a Westerner who has done a lot of meditation in Thailand over the last18 years, I've been curious to know the history of meditation in Thailand.I've also wondered about the Tudong or wondering monks whom I'veoccasionally seen here. This book explains it all. It is also veryinspirational for serious meditators and might even inspire people who arecurious about meditation.Read more
