My new book, Three Years on the Great Mountain, is currently available for preorder

An invigorating memoir about a young woman pushed to her limits at a Zen monastery in Hawai‘i, where she learns that the key to unlocking the ultimate breakthrough is igniting her fighting spirit.

At twenty-five, activist Cristina Moon faced an impossible task: preparing for

the possibility of arrest and torture inside military-ruled Myanmar. Her response? Learning Buddhist meditation. So began what would become a decades-long spiritual path—eventually leading her to a Zen temple and martial arts dojo in Hawaiʻi with a timeless method of warrior Zen training.

"… A universal exploration of belonging and the profound liberation available to all of us through dedication and training. Moon's call for all of us to take seriously each moment is an important one for this time."

—Prentis Hemphill, host of Finding Our Way and author of What It Takes To Heal
