You're diagnosed with an aggressive cancer - what do you do?
Devamitra - English actor and Buddhist teacher - describes the discomforts and indignities of being treated for prostate cancer. He also draws on the deep well of his Buddhist practice to work with his mind and meet fear, uncertainty and frailty with resolve. It is an entertaining read, full of wit and fantastically funny dialogue. If you or someone you know is facing a cancer diagnosis, this book will help light your way.
Devamitra was born Michael Kitching, in Middlesbrough, England in 1948. Known as Michael Jeffries he worked as a professional actor until shortly after encountering the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) in London in 1972. In January 1974 he was ordained within the Western Buddhist Order (now known as the Triratna Buddhist Order) and has spent his subsequent life studying, practising and teaching Buddhism. He was principally responsible for establishing the Norwich Buddhist Centre and for twenty years held a major responsibility in the FWBO. He is currently based at the London Buddhist Centre.
