Phra Farang | Free Book
At forty-five, successful businessman Peter Robinson gave up his
comfortable life in London to ordain as a Buddhist monk in Bangkok.
But the new path he had chosen was not always as easy or as
straightforward as he hoped it would be.
In this truly
extraordinary memoir, Phra Peter Pannapadipo describes his ten-year
metamorphosis into a practicing Buddhist monk, while being initiated
into the intricacies of an unfamiliar Southeast Asian culture.
Phra
Peter tells his story with compassion, humour and unflinching
honesty. It's the story of a 'Phra Farang' - a foreign monk - living
and practicing his faith in an exotic and intriguing land.
About the Author
