Description
Incarcerated in San Quentin at the age of 19 for armed robbery, Jarvis Masters was accused four years later of participating in a conspiracy that resulted in the death of a prison guard. In this book, African-American Jarvis Jay Masters, a Buddhist practitioner, demonstrates the high and holy calling of being a "peaceful presence" in a terrible place. Masters has been able to turn his life around by pursuing the Buddhist path toward liberation. His commitment to nonviolence leads him more and more into the role of peacemaker as he tries to put compassion into action. We see Masters meditating amid chaos and squalor, touching the hearts and minds of those around him.
