Reading Finding Freedom by Jarvis Jay Masters | PT.1

Описание: Sorry for all the cursing at the end! I was pretty tired and didn't realize how long I'd been reading lol. This will probably be my longest video, but who knows! Jarvis' writing is super easy to digest and feels very grounded. Check out Part Two later this week!

Penitentiary, noun: a prison for people convicted of serious crimes.

Synopsis:

There are many forms of liberation—some that exist at the mercy of circumstance and others that can never be taken away. In this collection of stories, essays, poems, and letters from death-row inmate Jarvis Jay Masters, he explores the meaning of true freedom on his road to inner peace through Buddhist practice. He reveals the life of a young man surrounded by violence, his entanglement in the criminal justice system, and—following an encounter with Tibetan Buddhist teacher H.E. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche—an unfolding commitment to nonviolence and peacemaking. At turns joyful, heartbreaking, frightening, and soaring with profound insight, Masters’ story offers a vision of hope and the possibility of freedom in even the darkest of times.
