A Journey Through Buddhist Practice and Tribal Wisdom
A contemplative memoir that interweaves Buddhist practice with indigenous teachings, inviting readers to meet grief, fear, and uncertainty as fertile ground for awakening and compassionate action. Through stories of encounters with shamans, activists, and the dying, it blends personal narrative, ritual, and nature-based wisdom to illuminate initiation, interdependence, and ethical engagement with a troubled world.
