Ajahn Brahm does not meet us this time as a storyteller – he shares from his own life. Initially, this is not so different from our own, as even the most balanced Buddhist monk is sometimes significantly tested by devastating events and unpleasant individuals. However, the responses that Ajahn Brahm and Master Guojun provide to the small and large crises of life can offer courage and inspiration for all of us. With humor and poignancy, the two Buddhist masters demonstrate how we can embrace even the most challenging situations, make peace with them, and even grow from them.
