Letters from the Dhamma Brothers: Meditation Behind Bars

The book records the dramatic changes that prisoners experience as they attempt to purify their minds of such impurities as hatred, fear, greed, anger, etc., that have landed them in prison. This book makes it clear that the impurities they carry deep within cause suffering both to themselves and to those around them; and whatever relief they get using the meditation helps both them and others.

Reader’s review:
“Just when you think that life is hard you find others who have it even worse and yet they come through with a sense of purpose, a sense of place and an inner peace that defies logic. Humbling and evocative words for anyone who thinks they’ve learned all they can learn.”

“Really incredible to read about these prisoners experience with meditation. Anyone can improve their life by waking up to the wonders of each moment. These gentlemen are proof that we all can learn to live in peace no matter our past. And proof that more programs such as the Vipassana course offered at Donaldson should be available & mainstream for prisoners and regular citizens alike.”
