Saltwater Buddha

Story Published: Jul 2, 2009 at 10:00 AM PDT

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. Jaimal shared with us 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. Saltwater Buddha: A Surfer's Quest to Find Zen on the Sea is 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.

 
Jaimal has a Reading and Signing tonight at 7:30 at Powell’s Books located at 2723 SE Hawthorne Blvd.
