About this listen

A brilliantly honest, funny, and insightful account of a Buddhist's life, work, and family. For Satyadasa, the Buddhist path has been fulfilling and often joyous, but also full of doubts and obstacles. What does it mean to be a Buddhist in the West in the 21st century? And is being born with one hand a curse–or a blessing?

I recently finished listening to the audio book. I enjoyed the companionship of the reading and narratives as I went about my day. I bought this as I was getting ready for a long drive to retreat. The book was perfect for the drive and helped my mind shift from the everyday to a deeper sense of what it means to practice Buddhism.

I particularly enjoyed the reflections on ordination. Also, I have chronic illness. Satyadasa's reflections on being born with one hand were resonant in many ways, with regard to internal and social navigation. I was sad when it ended!

A beautiful read
