Meeting the Monkey Halfway

An American Buddhist monk in the Theravada tradition offers wisdom and spiritual practices on attaining mindful presence. Simple and straightforward, this "e;little book"e; is a distillation of twenty years of a Buddhist monk's meditation practice. With a sense of reverence and respect for everything, Ajahn Sumano Bhikkhu shows us how to use only what we need, and then to use these few things carefully and with discrimination. Meeting the Monkey Halfway is his personal story, and through his story he will help us to open our hearts and relearn the compassion of the Buddha.
