Review # 1 was written on 2017-09-26 00:00:00 Nicholas Polega The Laughing Sutra is the story of Hsun-ching, who travels from China to America to find a sacred scroll for Wei-ching an old monk who cared for Hsun-ching from the time he was a young boy, hoping to fulfill the old man's one desire in life, which was to read that particular sutra. Hsun-ching travels with a mysterious partner (you may call him Colonel Sun) who turned out to be essential to everything and a pretty cool character. I love Salzman's work, and this book was wonderful, but someday I want to come back to it and have a re-read, since this first time through was interrupted by more than a couple of real life events and I couldn't focus enough to truly catch the deeper thoughts on freedom and loyalty that are woven through the story. Hopefully next time I open the book I will be better able to concentrate!
