A fascinating, engaging, and unique memoir, this story covers John Colemans life after his cover is blown as a CIA agent in Asia in the late 1950s, leading him to embark on a vigorous pursuit of spiritual truth. In his travels through India, Burma, Japan, and Thailand, he encounters luminous teachers such as Krishnamurti, Maharishi, and D T Suzuki. Ultimately, his search for peace of mind and liberating insights comes to fruition in Yangon -- also known as Rangoon -- under the tutelage of the great Vipassana meditation master Sayagyi U Ba Khin.
