This book isn't actually a book as such; instead, it's a compilation of lectures given to a group of prison inmates with an interest in Buddhism. The lectures describe a journey of self- (and other!) discovery.The Buddha also has something to say to those of us who aren't in prison.

This book isn't actually a book as such; instead, it's a compilation of lectures given to a group of prison inmates with an interest in Buddhism. The lectures describe a journey of self- (and other!) discovery.The Buddha also has something to say to those of us who aren't in prison. You'll find Buddha images wherever peace, relaxation and wellbeing are evoked, be it in display windows, as garden ornaments or as decorative tealights. Written with a light touch and with plenty of humour, these talks offer a general overview of the Buddha's teachings. Whether you're "inside" or "outside", if you'd like to know how to approach yourself and the world in a more relaxed way, why not come with me on this journey to the emergency exit from the prison of your own mind?Their informal style means that these lectures are suitable for anyone who enjoys a chuckle or two while reading.
Autorenporträt
You can always find me somewhere - always in the midst of a varied life. I grew up in a travel agency dynasty and worked in a travel agency myself for a long time. I still enjoy travelling the world frequently. A trip to Tibet (China) sparked my interest in Buddhism over 30 years ago, and I completed a 7-year course of study in Buddhism at the Tibetan Centre e.V., which is under the patronage of H.H. the Dalai Lama. I still take part in further Buddhist courses and seminars. I have often given lectures or courses on Buddhist teachings, including at the prison in Berlin-Tegel. My book 'We are all prisoners - with Buddha to the emergency exit' was based on my series of lectures at the prison. For over 15 years, I have been volunteering to support prisoners and those in preventive detention. Coming from a Christian background, I have always been very attracted to the concept of charity. Overall, I am very open to other cultures and religions - and to science, especially in the field of astronomy. After numerous jobs in many industries, I worked in the waste disposal industry for many years and therefore decided to go with print on demand. This means that each book is only printed when it is ordered and does not harm the environment. This allows you to purchase my printed book without feeling guilty about the environment if you do not like reading e-books.
