A tough former Marine leads Buddhist basic training for the average Joe.
In Buddhism for Dudes, Gerry âStribâ Stribling, former Marine and all-around good guy, answers questions on life and living with a healthy dose of Buddhist wisdom for the regular guy. Strib takes a good look at who the Buddha was, meditation, karma, and more. With good humor and without sentimentalism, he explains these down-to-earth insights in everyday language. Showing how Buddhism boldly approaches lifeâs problems head on, unflinching and alertâlike a soldier in a forward listening post in the dark of nightâStrib emphasizes the Buddhist call to moral action for the good of oneself and others.
