This is an inspirational book, about a young boy and his master. Both have lived through trauma, of different sorts, at different times. Both will find peace and wholeness. Here are their stories …. Dhargey was a sickly child or so his parents treated him. His only hope for his future was to explain to the head of the local monastery why he should be accepted into the order and with a lightened program, but to do so, he was forced to accompany the revered old man a little ways up the mountain. As his parents watched him leave; somewhere they felt that they would never see their sickly, fragile boy ever again, somewhere they were totally right. He was a happy, healthy seven year old until he witnessed the riders, dressed in red and black, destroying his village and murdering his parents; the trauma cut deep into his psyche. Only the chance meeting with a wandering monk could set him back onto the road towards health and serenity. Through meditation, initiations, stories, taming wild horses, becoming a monkey, mastering the staff and the sword; the future ‘Young Master’ prepares to face his greatest demon. Two men, two journeys, one goal. A beautiful and thought-provoking book, rich in poetry and insight.
