Ruminating on what it means to achieve Zen in a continent that has experienced fear, injustice, and inspirational political revolution, this meditation is a refreshingly enlightening account of practicing Buddhism in a volatile and ever-changing South Africa. Reminiscent of Lau Tsu combined with Oom Schalk Lourens, this luminescent and contemplative guide to inner sanctum draws on the experience and knowledge of an advocate of human rights and a former Zen monk. Lightly musing on the abstract concepts of humility, acceptance, reconciliation, and love and layered with swirling emotion and poetic insight on the nature of mankind--especially in the face of seemingly impossible adversity--this deeply spiritual and often humorous journey is as full of heart as it is of wisdom and serves as a necessary yet gentle reminder of what it is to be human.

Former musician Antony Osler was one of the first South African Buddhist monks: founding a legal resources clinic in the Karoo dorp Colesberg, he worked as a human rights advocate and a farmer, while being an enthusiastic father and a committed Buddhist.
Intimate, tender and engaging, this delightful book – illustrated with evocative monochromatic photographs – bears testimony not only to Osler’s deep faith but also to his skill as a writer and his talent for life. (
