Strong Roots, by Jake H. Davis, offers vision and value in how an ancient wisdom can be transmitted into contemporary culture without losing its authenticity and power. With clarity and reverence, Davis inspires gratitude and gives sound guidance for the transmission of a timeless wisdom teaching – from one culture into another, from classical style to contemporary relevance, and from one era to another. He draws on experiences from his personal life in establishing the Burmese lineage of the Mahāsi Sayadaw in North America.
