Based on the author's experiences and outlooks about sacred life in Asia and India, this packed volume contains Justin Stone's unique views on Chinese Taoism and Indian Buddhism. Stone relates compelling personal incidents from his life and writes thoughtful essays, such as "The Human Condition" and "Joy is Man's Heritage." This book serves as a perfect companion to one of Stone's earlier works, Abandon Hope, and features pyramid poetry as well as artwork and writings by Ou Mie Shu.
