Item Description
And the award for Cheekiest Inscription Ever goes to Perry Garfinkel for his personalized message to the successful bidder for this signed copy of Buddha or Bust: "To all sentient beings...but especially to the person holding this book."
In Buddha or Bust: In Search of Truth, Meaning, Happiness and the Man Who Found Them All (you definitely want to hear from this guy) Perry separates Buddhist fact from fiction, sharing his insights and perceptions about everything from spiritual tourism to Asian traffic jams to his own endless road to enlightenment. "Why," he asks "does a 2,500-year-old tradition seem more relevant today than ever before?" That was the question that drove him, on assignment for National Geographic magazine, as he circumnavigated the globe to discover the reason for the growing popularity of Buddhism.
Perry Garfinkel has been a journalist since 1970 and a regular contributor to various sections of The New York Times since 1986. He has been "covering the convergence of East and West for some 30 years, falling off and on the meditation cushion for just as long."
