Greetings earthlings!
So, I have been contemplating what to make this blog post about tonight...I have mostly been reading for school recently. I am hoping that it's alright to write about a book that I haven't begun reading yet, but am excited about! I first need to complete reading my other books, and then will begin this wonder of a story! I actually recieved this book for free at a book store, so that immediately intrigued me, as I like free things and this seemed like a real prize! The novel is autobiographical. It is a non-fiction story, at least, and contains some information about the journey of a Buddhist man. The book is titled In the Shadow of the Buddha, and explores the travels of a Buddhist American, Matteo Pistono, in Tibet, a country that has been in conflict for quite some time now. I am sure that this man's Buddhist views affect his experience greatly in Tibet. I am really looking forward to getting an in-depth understanding of what an American experiences in contemporary Tibet, and how he was affected by the conflict and how he tried to help free Tibet. This is a topic I am very interested in! I will be sure to blog about it once I've set aside priority fun-reading time!
I love the title of your blog!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an interesting book, I think Buddhism is kind of fascinating so I'm excited to hear if this book is worth of reading!
