Buddha on a Midnight Sea - Short Stories

by Francesca Hampton

Overview

A worthy addition to the growing new genre of Buddhist fiction, this remarkable collection of short stories explores moments of personal crisis and breakthrough through the lens of Tibetan Buddhist insight. From a paddle boarder out much too far on a midnight sea, to a young Tibetan monk’s effort to save a backpacker in the throes of a nervous breakdown in India, from a Tibetan incarnate lama’s encounters with temptation on a Greyhound bus to Los Angeles, to a journalist’s uncanny meeting with the Dalai Lama in Bodhgaya, these stories offer an unusual and knowledgeable look at the modern encounters of east and west and the remarkable potential of the human mind.
