This is a book of 52 vignettes—stories and teachings about Cuong Lu’s six years as a prison chaplain. Lu shares insights into the prisoner’s mindset, something with implications for us all, whether or not we are in a conventional jail. As a prison chaplain, Cuong discovered that when the men inside allowed themselves to feel their pain—including remorse from committing crimes—knowing and feeling the truth became a source of strength for them. And when the inmates felt listened to, understood, and not judged, it transformed their sense of who they are, and as a result changed their attitudes and their behavior. This book is not just about the prisoners. It’s about all of us. We’re each caught in distorted and limiting ideas of ourselves. We don’t believe freedom and happiness are attainable. But when we come to believe in ourselves, we discover the freedom and happiness already within. Cuong Lu, Buddhist teacher, scholar, and writer, was born in Nha Trang, Vietnam, in 1968. He majored in East Asian studies at the University of Leiden, and in 1993 was ordained a monk at Plum Village in France under the guidance of Thich Nhat Hanh. In 2000, he was recognized as a teacher in the Lieu Quan line of the Linji School of Zen Buddhism. In 2015, he received a master’s degree in Buddhist Spiritual Care at Vrije University in Amsterdam. Lu is the founder of Mind Only School, in Gouda, the Netherlands, where he teaches Buddhist philosophy and psychology, specializing in Yogachara Buddhism combined with the Madhyamaka (Middle Way) School of Nagarjuna.

PREFACE One of the great social problems of our contemporary world is the large and growing population within prisons. The hundreds of thousands of inmates, a large percentage of them young men who committed offenses in their teen years, create a financial and human burden that has reached staggering proportions. In the state of California in the USA, prison budgets now exceed the allotment for higher education. Those of us who visit and teach in prisons appreciate the willingness of a Buddhist leader such as Ven. Thich Nhat Tu to address this issue directly, showing tenderness and compassion for a group that are so often treated with indifference. He reminds us of how methods and policies affect the welfare of those who have violated concrete prohibitions of communities. As a Buddhist teacher he approaches this group with reference to individual conduct, and uses the counsel and advice based on precepts of his tradition. In the teaching, he has used gentle and sensitive instruction aimed at the development of qualities and capacities latent in the individual listeners, abilities that can help them face their situation. Thus, his goal has been to assist the inmates by giving help that will assist them in mastering some of the difficulties that are involved in prison life, providing them with new knowledge to use as a part of their mental life. It is difficult to fully comprehend the impact of his presence when he visits the facilities. For many inmates after a long period of being away from family and friends, there are no visitors, no letters, and no attention from loving and caring people. When Ven. Thich Nhat Tu enters to talk with them and spend time teaching and listening, he is seen as an individual but also in an iconic fashion as the very embodiment of morality and compassion. His message gives solace; there can be an “Inner Freedom” even in the face of a daily life that is restricted. For many of the inmates, the hardest task is to live with the guilt they feel over their actions, actions that caused harm and sorrow to others. It is at this basic level of experience that the teachings provide the necessary quality for remorse to give the power to receive, hold, and absorb understanding of reality and the possibility of inner transformation. It is a message that can have application to all of us, as we face the problems of our past and present life.

When terrible things happen in life and there’s little we can do to change them, the only option seems to be either anger or despair. This is the reality for prison inmates. They have no power over their circumstances. Many have long sentences, some have been wrongly accused and some even await execution. Their environment is often overcrowded, ugly, violent and full of noise, “like being in a rock concert all day,” as one man reported. There is nothing to look forward to and often no one to turn to. For the past twenty-five years, Liberation Prison Project has been a lifeline for prisoners, first in the United States and also in Australia, Italy, Mongolia, New Zealand and other countries, who turned to LPP, asking for Buddhist books and spiritual advice in an effort to find meaning in life when everything else has been lost. This book is a compilation of advice from Lama Zopa Rinpoche, the spiritual director of LPP, in response to letters from more than one hundred prisoners, mainly in the USA, edited into a coherent narrative. Rinpoche’s advice is that, actually, their prison “is nothing in comparison with their inner prison—the prison of anger, the prison of attachment, the prison of ignorance.” That prison, Rinpoche says, they can definitely change. And why should they? Because, simply put, happiness and suffering come from the mind, not the external world. The extent of the heartfelt compassion and love that Rinpoche offers the men who write to him is incredible. He empowers them to never give up on the development of their potential and their ability to help others. The advice in the book is not just for prisoners. It is for all of us.

Description Buddhism is a path that leads to ever-greater freedom. This book brings together ten carefully-chosen and beautifully-told true stories, each one showing us how we can find more freedom in our own lives. Vessantara's commentary draws deeper meanings from the stories, and gives many insights into how we can break out of our self-created prisons and roam free. The stories draw on several Buddhist traditions as well as contemporary events. So, as well as the serene figure of the Buddha, you will meet a rich cast of characters, including a lone sailor, a guilt-racked king, an awakened woman wanderer, a group of murderers, unconventional tantric yogis, a mysterious hag, a condemned thief, fearless Zen masters, a drunken samurai and a very large tiger... This is a new and slightly revised edition of this popular book that was first published in 2000. Review: "A clear-sighted, lucid, and immensely enjoyable journey through Buddhist teachings which will be of enormous benefit to Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. I loved this book.
