surya reviewed Novice by Thich Nhat Hanh
Review of 'Novice' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This book is about a young woman who had to disguise herself as a man so that she can practise various meditation practices. I guess it would have been even more inspiring, if she had spoken her truth and fought to be seen and heard as who she is instead of living in disguise and only revealing the truth at her death. But then as my friend says, easy to say but you never know what one is going through. To each his own!
A bit depressing the things that she had gone through, but certainly doable. Maybe I know people who are nearly as loving and quite as enlightened like that. Also, never have I read a book by Thich Nhat Hanh that I didn't like.
