THE BUDDHA IN JAIL
Cuong Lu, a Buddhist monk who works as a prison chaplain in the Netherlands, writes about how facing suffering (non-denial) can be a source of happiness, reframing Buddhism's "first noble truth."
Cuong Lu was "one of the first Buddhist prison chaplains in the Netherlands. In The Buddha in Jail, Cuong shares his stories and teachings in the Dutch prison system, working with hardened criminals, mostly by sitting with them in deep presence. He was able to do that because he recognized the humanness and vulnerability of each of these very tough men. (...) Read these stories carefully, a few at a time, and apply them to our encounters with those who have acted badly, those we don't particularly like, and ourselves, for all these dialogues are taking place within each of us all the time." (from the foreword by Roshi Joan Halifax)
