Synopsis
In this chronicle, the remarkable fruit of more than tweny years' immersion in a deep and far-reaching Buddhist practice, David Smith, "an ordinary working class man" who came across Buddhism, shares his extraordinary inner experience. Taking us through his journey -- from his introduction to the Zen tradition and three years as a Theravadin monk to his recent years as a lay practitioner in East London -- Smith eloquently describes the basic principles of his practice and the process whereby the "tap root of ignorance" is cut and the Awakened Mind is born.
