Written by the author in his late twenties, \u003ci\u003eMy Master’s Robe\u003c\/i\u003e is set in the heart of a peaceful monastery that is surrounded by war during the years from 1942-1947. These stories give insight into the young novice's life and experiences that helped shape him into the wise spiritual leader he would grow to become.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese stories first appeared in \u003ci\u003ePhat Giao Buddhist Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e between 1956 and 1959. The stories were collected in a book titled \u003ci\u003eTinh Nguoi \u003c\/i\u003e(Vietnamese) and published in 1964 by La Boi Press, Saigon. \u003ci\u003eTinh nguoi\u003c\/i\u003e means “humanity” and the stories are about just that—humanity in the midst of war and violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this little book we see how the pure love of a teacher can fill the young monk’s heart with a deep aspiration to devote his life to serving those who suffer in the world. We can all train ourselves in love by learning the way to listen deeply in order to understand the situation and the suffering of the one we consider to be our enemy, and we can train ourselves to speak lovingly. These stories can help inspire and guide us as we train and practice.","brand":"Parallax Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44219387478271,"sku":"9781888375039","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781888375039_s600x595.jpg?v=1775584889","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781888375039","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
