It's Buddhist fan fiction and like all the best fan fiction it updates, reorientates, and makes the story feel new.

For me the highlight was reading this while watching The Bear and seeing the book get a mention, what are the odds?

Enjoyed it enough to read some more about this buddhism thing, turns out buddhism is pretty good.

technically the odds are pretty high since I'm always reading something so at some point whatever book I was currently reading would be mentioned by whatever I happened to be watching, but also, maybe karma?
