"Through humor, raw truth and the life changing practice of loving-kindness you'll experience the joyful blessing of mindfulness and be shown a path to sustainable happiness. Easy to read and hard-to-forget, this collection of short stories is the kind of book that moves you while you read it--and then hits you later as a spiritual awakening. The author offers you a seat in the temple, where you'll be guided by the wisdom and the presence of his noble friend and teacher, Buddhist Monk Venerable Bhante Sujatha." --Mary Gustafson, author of My Wish: The Story of a Man Who Brought Happiness to America
