What the Buddha Never Taught -- Tim Ward's classic "Behind the Robes" account of life one of the strictest monasteries in Thailand is back in print. Published in seven countries and five languages, What the Buddha Never Taught was a bestseller in Canada and a book-of-the-month selection in the US. It has been used as a classroom text in several universities as a great introduction to living Buddhism in the Therevada tradition. Notorious in Thailand for its candid observations of the struggles of white guys who put on ochre robes, the book is filled with gentle irony and self deprecating humor. How do you practice non-violence with a cobra in your bathroom? How can a novice monk overcome desire when there's a Mars Bar in his begging bowl?

"If you want to find out what the Buddha never taught you should shave your head and don an ochre robe. The next best thing is to read Ward's enjoyable book." -- Canadian Book Review Annual.
