Cuong Lu will be speaking about his experiences as a Buddhist chaplain in prisons as well as signing copies of his book. 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 jai. 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. The Buddha in Jail is not just about the prisoners. It’s about all of us.
