Description
Lunch with Buddha is a story about two people who couldn't be more different. Otto Ringling is a 50-year-old editor at a prestigious publishing house, living a comfortable life in the suburbs. His sister Cecelia, on the other hand, has made a living reading palms and performing past-life regressions. Despite their differences, they have more in common than you might think. When Otto faces a difficult time, it's Cecelia who knows how to help him. She arranges for him to travel with Volya Rinpoche, a spiritual teacher she also happens to be married to. Together, they embark on a road trip from Seattle to their family farm in North Dakota. Along the way, they have various experiences that aim to bring Otto a deeper sense of peace. Their conversations range from questions about life and death to discussions on history, marijuana, child-rearing, and outdoor swimming. This novel is a heartwarming exploration of family, relationships, and finding inner peace.
