Summary:
Think the life of a Zen monk is all serenity, peace, and austerity? Think again.
Shozan
Jack
Haubner
gives an often-hilarious, always-candid account of what it's really like behind those monastery walls.
Haubner
's adventures include memories of his dysfunctional Midwestern family that drove him ultimately to declare, "I think I should be a monk!" to an account of the night he got stoned and snuck out of the monastery, alongside more sobering accounts such as his life-threatening brush with illness, the profound impact of a dear friend's death, and reflections on the controversy that rocked his Zen community. He finds timeless wisdom in both the tragic and the absurd as he provides clear insights into the nature of self and what the practice of Zen is all about.
