At Hell's Gate is not only a gripping coming-of-age story but a spiritual travelogue from the horrors of combat to the discovery of inner peace—a journey that inspired Thomas to become a Zen monk and peace activist who travels to war-scarred regions around the world. "Everyone has their Vietnam," Thomas writes. "Everyone has their own experience of violence, calamity, or trauma." With simplicity and power, this book offers timeless teachings on how we can all find healing, and it presents practical guidance on how mindfulness and compassion can transform our lives.  2Buddhist converts  2Vietnamese Conflict, 1961-1975  a0bibccorignewd2encipf20gy-gencatlg  2LCScBOOKn0  00102LCS40708MAHaLINDHOLMEbLINDHOLMEcGENd2026-08-08l0o360 THOp2600491r2026-08-08 12:29:08w2026-08-08yBOOK  c2983d2983
