First You Shave Your Head

When STUMBLING TOWARD ENLIGHTENMENT and TAP DANCING IN ZEN author Geri Larkin is invited on a pilgrimage to Korea with her Buddhist master for thirty days of practice, she is thrilled, flattered, and utterly freaked out. And so begins another life journey along the spiritual path of one of our favorite authors. Larkins account is by turns hilarious, heartbreaking, exasperating, and exhilarating, and is told with her usual charm and grace. Part travelogue, part spiritual journey, FIRST YOU SHAVE YOUR HEAD is a lighthearted collection of Buddhist practices and principles that wont fail to inspire and amuse.

GERI LARKIN lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she is an ordained dharma teacher and runs the Right Livelihood Seed Capital Fund, which helps fund Buddhist-based ventures.
