As a mom of three kids my mommy-time is most often spent grocery shopping – to which I of course bring my phone with all my audiobooks. Today I want to share about a book that I often come back to. Like an old friend. I love the voice of the narrator and how he sounds so funny sometimes interpreting a Russian-American accent 🙂
This book is about:
Otto Ringling is an editor of cookbooks. He is living a comfortable life with kids and wife and is enjoying a good income and he thinks he is a really good citizen, not very religious but religious enough to not make a total mess of life. Until the day his parents are killed in an accident and the need to take care of their property is imminent. His sister sends her not yet beloved but dear friend from the inner of Russia somewhere to come along on the trip as she cannot herself go and so begins a roadtrip that we get to enjoy. The Rinpoche and Otto learn a lot from each other and in the midst of all of the everyday all American life the Rinpoche sprinkles some spritiuality over Otto, shedding new light on life as he knows it.
I highly recommend this book along with Lunch with Buddha and Dinner with Buddha. They are easily read and they can awaken within another depth of Being. If you read it or listen to it feel free to comment what you think of it.
