The Buddha in Jail: Restoring Lives, Finding Hope and Freedom Lu Cuong
A Buddhist teacher shares insights into the prisoner's mindset, something with implications for us all, whether or not we are in a conventional jailAs a prison chaplain, Cuong Lu discovered that when the men inside allowed themselves to feel their pain--including remorse for committing crimes--knowing and feeling the truth became a source of strength for them.This is a book of fifty-two vignettes--stories and teachings about Lu's six years as a prison chaplain. When we look at prisoners without judgment, we connect with those we might never know, and with our own basic goodness. He found that when the inmates felt listened to, understood and not judged, it transformed their sense of who they are, and as a result changed their attitudes and their behavior.Cuong Lu opens our eyes beyond prejudice to see others--and ourselves--in a larger perspective.
