Jaimal Yogis – Saltwater Buddha: A Surfer’s Quest to Find Zen on the Sea
Start: 7:30 pm
Colfax Avenue: Jaimal Yogis will read from and sign his spiritual memoir Saltwater Buddha: A Surfer’s Quest to Find Zen on the Sea ($14.95 Wisdom). Fed up with teenage life, Jaimal Yogis ran off to Hawaii with little more than a copy of Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha and enough cash for a surfboard. His journey is a coming-of-age saga that takes him from communes to monasteries, from the warm Pacific to the icy New York shore. Equal parts spiritual memoir and surfer’s tale, this is a chronicle of finding meditative focus in the barrel of a wave and eternal truth in the great salty blue. “Heartfelt, honest and deceptively simple. It’s great stuff with the words Cult Classic stamped all over it.” --Alex Wade, author of Surf Nation Request a signed copy: books@tatteredcover.com
