"Imagine that you had an unhurried meeting with one of Buddhism's most accomplished, respected, and plainspoken teachers-and imagine that he patiently agreed to answer any question you had about meditation, living mindfully, and even monastic life. After nine decades of Buddhist practice and leadership, Bhante Gunaratana, author the worldwide bestseller Mindfulness in Plain English and more than a dozen other books, is that teacher-and What, Why, How? is a polished and easy-to-read presentation of exactly that encounter. The questions themselves are thoughtful, intelligent, and relatable on topics range from psychological to the the doctrinal, from practical to personal-and everything in between. And Bhante G's answers are always in his signature "plain English" style-even when they dive deep into texts and teachings. This book, a fitting capstone atop an exemplary life, will be illuminating and inspiring to beginners and old hands alike"--.
