Dessert with Buddha

Mehr zum Buch

In this engaging road trip narrative, the eccentric, sort-of-Buddhist monk Volya Rinpoche and his skeptical brother-in-law Otto Ringling embark on another enlightening journey, this time along the Eastern Seaboard from Boston to the South. Following their previous adventures, they encounter a diverse cast of characters, including a former NBA star, a Holocaust survivor, an A.M.E. preacher, a hedge fund executive, a Syrian refugee, and a homeless individual from North Carolina. As they tour famous American sights, their conversations delve into spirituality, captivating readers worldwide. Otto's family members—sister Cecelia, daughter Natasha, son Anthony, and niece Shelsa—play significant roles in this journey. The duo navigates both back roads and highways in a hybrid pickup, leading to a climactic finish that ties together their experiences. The author intended this installment to stand alone or complement the previous three novels, emphasizing themes of generosity and selflessness as an antidote to greed. Dessert with Buddha enriches the series like a delightful dessert enhances a meal, inviting readers to savor the journey and the meaningful connections made along the way. Enjoy the trip!
