Description

Daja Wangchuk Meston's memoir is a poignant account of his journey to forgiveness and self-discovery. At just 17, he left behind his worldly possessions and embarked on a path to heal the wounds of his past. Born in the United States to hippie parents, Daja was taken to Nepal at the age of three and placed in the care of a Tibetan family. He was later ordained as a monk at the age of six, but his Caucasian features made him an outsider in the insular monastic world. The lack of maternal care and love during his formative years had a profound impact on his life, leading him to seek forgiveness and reconciliation. In this moving memoir, Daja shares his story of resilience and redemption, revealing how his Buddhist upbringing and the love of a good woman helped him to mend his long-severed ties to his family, country, and own identity.
