Aprašymas

In
this raw and moving memoir, Claude Thomas describes his service in Vietnam, his
subsequent emotional collapse, and his remarkable journey toward healing.
At
Hell's Gate

is not only a gripping coming-of-age story but a spiritual travelogue from the
horrors of combat to the discovery of inner peace—a journey that inspired
Thomas to become a Zen monk and peace activist who travels to war-scarred
regions around the world. "Everyone has their Vietnam," Thomas writes.
"Everyone has their own experience of violence, calamity, or trauma." With
simplicity and power, this book offers timeless teachings on how we can all
find healing, and it presents practical guidance on how mindfulness and
compassion can transform our lives.
