"To know, deep in your bones, how everything you experience is fleeting, poignant, and unreliable undermines the rational for trying to grasp hold of, possess, and control it." page 158

Made it thru the first section. Learned a lot including the differences between Tibetian (which I practice) and Zen Buddhism. Lots of history in this section.

Well I made it trhu the first section and I learned a lot. Learning the differences between Tibetian (which I practice) and Zen was very interesting. Lots of good history in this book and Im not really into history.

This book is very auto biographical which I love. It starts off as a twenty year old hippie traveling Europe/Asia. The second chapter gets into his introduction to Buddhism. It's VERY interesting learning the detailed steps it takes to become a full on Tibetian Buddhist Monk. I'm leaarning a lot but have only just begun.
