Must read

Excellent book detailing the journey of two Buddhist monks doing 3 step one bow - one of the first few monks to do it in America. Highly recommended.

Collects together under one cover diverse observations

Informatively compiled by Bhikshus Heng Sure and Heng Chau, News From True Cultivators: Letters To The Venerable Abbot Hua collects together under one cover diverse observations of the Buddhist faith, ranging from insightful anecdotes; to encounters with those who do not understand Buddhism or who try to convert monks walking down the street; to the eternal quest to disassociate from selfish desires that drive humanity as a whole to do terrible things. A multifaceted and insightful look into how a Buddhist faith and the quest for harmony can shape one's life and understanding, News From True Cultivators is an impressive and recommended contribution to the growing library of Buddhist Studies literature.
