More about the book:

“The only instruction is kindness.” The book combines modern memoir, state-of-the-art psychological research on social media, and a Buddhist primer. Five years in the making, Facebuddha is a rich Asian American memoir, a state-of-the-art exploration of psychological research about social media, and an engaging introduction to Buddhism. Tamlyn Tomita says Facebuddha is “a very personal, often funny, warmly intelligent, thoughtful and heartfelt journey to transcendence!” Other reviewers including Buddhist teachers Sylvia Boorstein and Jack Kornfield call it “inspiring," “magnificent," “breathtakingly personal,” and “an invitation to depth and personal growth.” Ravi is depending on word-of-mouth, so please share, and read this great book!

Facebuddha is available on Kindle, iBooks and Kobo with hardcover soon to come. BCSF Young Alums are invited to use discount code YOUNGALUM for $10 off a hardcover copy of the book at Ravi’s Facebuddha launch events on October 23rd and 28th
