Rude Awakenings indeedBy Aimee BrantThe double authors of Rude Awakenings; a British Theravada Buddhist monk Ajahn Sucitto; and his samanera assistant; Nick Scott; got to the heights and depths of real pilgrimage--the kind done on foot. Bare feet got them a start; but soon the bad roads; travel through farmed fields; small accidents; and blisters; soon returned them to footwear. Bravo for them. Hence the title. With more reviews on this page; I'll finish by urging people to read their story and enjoy their honesty--not to leave out the warm hospitality of villagers who offered them food and rest.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Two very different men on a perilous journeyBy Mary PaigeThis is an amazing journey of two very different men as they travel through the Buddhist holy sites in India. Ajahn Sucitto is looking for the spiritual truths and Nick is searching for the beauty in the natural landscape. For those of us who love the writings of Ajahn Sucitto; it is fascinating to read of his patience and suffering on this painful journey.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
