ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
My deepest thanks to the gracious and patient monks and other Buddhist friends at the Kungri Monastery in the Pin Valley, India, where this manuscript was first written; to Wayne and the gang at UMKC; to Tim Small, the kind editor who first conceived of, motivated and published the project overseas; to Lorin Stein and my all-knowing, all-good agent Susan Golomb, who together convinced me to rewrite what began as a memoir into fiction; to my brilliant editor Giancarlo DiTrapano, who has been relentless in his determination to see it appear here in the US, and who has quite possibly put as much passion into the book as I have; to Mom, Alicia, Rebecca, Darren, Pat and Mompat; to Rinpoche; and above all, to my daughters, Zelly, Margaret and Portia, and to my best reader, best friend, and loving wife, Amie.
