The autobiography of Bhante Yogavacara Rahula from childhood and youth in southern California to novice ordination in Sri Lanka in 1975. The author is frank and honest in his description of his travels along the hippie/drugs circuit through Europe, Central Asia, and South Asia, until his life-changing discovery of Buddhism at a month long retreat in Nepal. But the intention is always to teach Dhamma through the account of a exciting and revelatory journey.
