Description
The Buddhist on Death Row by David Sheff In a life marked by violence and despair, Jarvis Jay Masters's story is one of profound transformation. Born into a world of abuse and neglect, he was sent to juvenile detention and eventually landed on death row for a crime he did not commit. Yet, in the darkest of places, Masters found a way to heal and find meaning. With uncanny clarity, David Sheff describes Masters's journey from a man dedicated to hurting others to one who has prevented violence on the prison yard, counselled high school kids by mail, and helped prisoners find purpose in their lives. Along the way, Masters becomes drawn to the Buddhist principles of compassion, sacrifice, and living in the moment, gaining the admiration of Buddhists worldwide. This book offers a powerful exploration of the human spirit, showing how we can ease our everyday suffering, relish the light that surrounds us, and endure the tragedies that befall us all.
