Book Reviews of Saltwater Buddha: A Surfer's Quest to Find Zen on the Sea
Book Review: A Step Into The Liquid Zen
Summary: 4 Stars
From page 96: "WATER IS FULL OF MAGIC. Shapeless but incompressible, it is the only substance that can exist naturally as solid, liquid, and gas inside earth's temperature range. It's called the 'universal solvent' because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid - and yet it is also harmless to drink and ultimately sustains all life." Yogis treats us readers to quite a few such insightful passages as well as plenty of wisdom quotes from other sources. We got your Zen. We got your surfing. Do we get a fusion that is entertaining? Yes. But what if Zen &/or surfing isn't your thing? What if you prefer reading the Bible and quilting, is this a worthwhile read for you? I can't say. What we do have is a pretty neat story of a young man in search of experiences & situations that will help him affirm and challenge his self-image of ZEN-SURF MASTER of his UNIVERSE MAN. And like a wave described in his book, reality crashes in on itself and the author's self-image goes along for the ride. We read of who and what then comes up for air.
