Rinpoche's Remarkable Ten-Week Weight Loss Clinic

A Novella (Breakfast with Buddha Series)

By: Roland Merullo

Narrated by: Sean Runnette

Rinpoche's Remarkable Ten-Week Weight Loss Clinic brings back two main characters from Roland Merullo's beloved Breakfast with Buddha series. This time, though, instead of cruising the American road together, Otto Ringling and Volya Rinpoche are part of the famous meditation master's offbeat weight loss clinic, held over the course of ten Saturdays in a New York City yoga studio.

Known-across twenty books, scores of essays, and twenty-five years of publishing-for being willing to try his hand at an unusually wide variety of themes, subjects, and genres, here Merullo works for the first time in the novella form, putting together a deft, moving, and tightly compressed tale that includes his trademark mix of spiritual inquiry and ordinary human emotions.

While it does not promise to help listeners with their troublesome eating habits or other addictions, Rinpoche's Remarkable Ten-Week Weight Loss Clinic does look at those painful issues from a fresh angle, one full of sympathy and wisdom. It will certainly please lovers of the Breakfast with Buddha series, and perhaps bring new fans to the hundreds of thousands who've already enjoyed the travels and conversations of Otto and his enlightened teacher.

More Rimpoche love and laughter

All the “Rimpoche”books are so wonderful. This Novela, like the other books makes me feel loved, gives me insight into life,myself, others with humor, honest observations, and love. They are absolutely wonderful and this one is no different.

Beautiful

I have loved all the books in this series. So kind and funny. So much to think about.

I can never get enough of these

Another gem in the series. I can’t say enough about how much and how deeply Roland’s characters and his brilliant writing have meant to me over the years. In their own way they serve as my meditative practice and have changed my life - opened my eyes, mind and heart. Thank you Roland and Sean!

I can not wait for the next one.

I am so glad you found a way to continue the series. I’ve listened to breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and The Delight of Being Ordinary many times over and every time I listen to it I discovers something that I needed thank you.
