In Great Buddha Gym for All Mens and Womens, author Sallie Tisdale so richly evokes her pilgrimage to the four vital sites related to Buddha Shakyamuni's life and enlightenment that the listener feels as if she's tripping alongside Tisdale every crowded, colorful, and sensuous step of the way. The challenges of travel in modern India are daunting. The ancient sites are overrun with tourists and seekers. Merchants hawking spiritual goods are everywhere. And yet, miraculously, despite the chaos, the great teachings of the Buddha come shining through.
Sallie Tisdale is the author of seven books, including Talk Dirty to Me and The Best Thing I Ever Tasted, a finalist for a James Beard Award.

She is the 2013 recipient of the Regional Arts and Culture Council Literary Fellowship. She has received an NEA Fellowship in Belle Lettres, a Pushcart Prize, the James Phelan Literary Award, the American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year award, and a Pope Foundation Award and was a Dorothy and Arthur Shoenfeldt Distinguished Writer of the Year.

GREAT BUDDHA GYM FOR ALL MENS AND WOMENS by Sallie Tisdale
In my naïveté, I expected the place where BUDDHA found enlightenment to be an altogether peaceful location. The simple principles of Buddhism that I had accepted from some past study of this religion misled me. I knew about the beggars in the sub-continent but for some reason I never connected chaos and cacophony to figure so strongly with the peaceful nature of the religion that tourism played such an important part in life out there
The authors pilgrimage to Bodh Gaya follows thirty years of being a Zen Buddhist and a desire to visit the four places the BUDDHA had stipulated were important to him. It's very well written and opened my eyes to things I was interested to learn about.
This is a very well written short book which takes you into parts of India many travelers would not choose to go. You feel as if you are there in person.
