A Chant To Soothe Wild Elephants

In 2001, Jaed Coffin, a Thai-American man, left New England's Middlebury College and travelled to Thailand to be ordained as a Buddhist monk in the village of Panomsarakram, and thereby fulfil a family obligation. While addressing the notions of displacement, ethnic identity and cultural belonging, this book chronicles Jaed's time at the temple.
