Questions of Heaven The Chinese Journeys of an American Buddhist

" ....A beautiful metaphor, spirituality as a physical endeavor...infuses the first part of 'Questions of Heaven' with a momentum that mirrors Ehrlich's own.The sacred and the secular, after all, must coexist for either to have meaning, and Emei Shan, with its teach shops, tourists, and state-sponsored status as the 'most beautiful mountain in the world," is emblematic of this idea....Although her climb does not lead to enlightenment, Ehrlich manages to find her path in other ways....If 'Questions of Heaven' has a message it may reside in the author's belief in a bond across geography and generations, one transcending space and time."Ehrlich, Gretel is the author of 'Questions of Heaven The Chinese Journeys of an American Buddhist' with ISBN 9780807073117 and ISBN 0807073113.
