The Life and Letters of Tofu Roshi

Tofu Roshi-the fictional "Dear Abby" of Zen Buddhism-counsels his readers about their spiritual problems in this hilarious spoof of America's search for enlightenment. Selections from his advice column alternate with commentary from narrator and disciple Ichi Su.

Susan Moon is the editor of Turning Wheel: The Journal of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship. She is the author of The Life and Letters of Tofu Roshi and coeditor, with Lenore Friedman, of Being Bodies: Buddhist Women on the Paradox of Embodiment.
