Summary

Dessert with Buddha takes the eccentric, sort-of-Buddhist monk, Volya Rinpoche, and his skeptical, middle-of-the-road brother-in-law, Otto Ringling, on another enlightening road trip filled with meals, humor, social commentary, and good times. On this journey, the couple ... heads down the Eastern Seaboard from Boston to points south. Along the way, they meet an array of intriguing characters (from a former NBA star to a Holocaust survivor, from an A.M.E. preacher to a hedge fund executive, from a Syrian refugee to a homeless North Carolinian), tour some famous American sights, and enjoy conversations about spirituality.--Publisher.
