description: Buddhist life as everyday reality shows up vividly in this poet-performer's rich and engaging travels in Nepal, where "the real world" is interlaced with Buddhist divinities. This sensitively written journal depicts the daily life of the Nepalese people and the subtle way that their Buddhist faith imbues their life with serenity and humor. Though without explicit reference to his own Buddhist practice, the text itself reflects the mindfulness, immediacy, and compassion of the author's spiritual commitment.
