Here's a short piece on author Claude Anshin Thomas, author of a very compelling book, At Hell's Gate: A Soldier's Story. A student of Thich Nhat Hanh and Bernie Glassman, Roshi, Thomas writes of the devastating effects of his time as a soldier in Vietnam and the slow, painful reordering of his life. Now a Buddhist monk and teacher, Thomas lives on pilgrimage and works as an advocate for peace. A powerful testimony.
