Time out for Beginners Juergen Lenz

This is the diary of a 32-day stay in a Buddhist monastery near Kathmandu. In searching for a more fulfilling life and needing to think about himself, a 36-year-old economist from Cologne devotes himself to Buddhist doctrine. With a certain degree of skepticism, but open to something new, the meditations lead him to the limits of his own consciousness and shatter the basic patterns of his thinking. Experience during the stay turns out to be a fertile counter-model to Western way of life and marks a turning point in the author's thinking and life. Find out the secret to a more peaceful and carefree way of life, expand your horizons, and learn that living in a monastery is not as difficult as you would think!
