Notebooks of a Wandering Monk

Notebooks of a Wandering Monk is a contemplative collection of reflections, stories, and insights drawn from Matthieu Ricard’s decades as a Buddhist monk travelling between Himalayan monasteries and the wider world. It blends personal journal‑style observations with teachings on mindfulness, compassion, altruism, and the search for genuine happiness, making it appealing to readers of spiritual nonfiction and practical philosophy.
