I'm reading my final Bill Porter (Red Pine) travel book: South of the Yangtze.
Bill Porter has 6 amazing travel books in China, from when he traveled there in the 1989 to 2006:
Road to Heaven: Encounters with Chinese Hermits 1993
Zen Baggage: A Pilgrimage to China 2008
Yellow River Odyssey 2014
South of the Clouds: Travels in Southwest China 2015
South of the Yangtze: Travels Through the Heart of China 2016
The Silk Road 2016
I've loved his poetry translations of Stonehouse, Cold Mountain and others. Thought I would link my past blogs on Bill Porter:
Discussing Zen Baggage: That blog post had a lot of Porter links:
Thoughts on the inspiration of hermit monks.
I loved this lady monk: Mo-shan Liao-jan, my favorite bit from Zen Baggage.
These might not be all the times I wrote about Red Pine or Bill Porter's books, but it's enough.
I'm sunsetting going for refuge. Follow me at Friendship with Shams.
