In this inspiring true story of how inner strength and kindness can overcome adversity, prisoners share how meditation changed their lives. With intimate letters between prisoners and charity workers from the Prison Phoenix Trust, it is beautifully illustrated and includes a simple beginner's guide to meditation.
This moving book provides an inside-view of life in prison, and people's remarkable ability to make sense of their lives there as they learn to meditate. Drawing on years of intimate correspondence between prisoners and charity workers of the Prison Phoenix Trust, it traces prisoners' struggles through the harshest of circumstances to find authenticity, friendship and hope. This is not only an empowering guide for those in prison, but a testament to the liberating power of peace, which, in spite of all obstacles, can be unlocked within us all.
