The Monastery

Rate this book
Bodhi J.M.S Ryder’s enchanting coming of age novel has inspired people to follow their dreams all around the world. This story, ethereal in its wisdom and simplicity, is about a Nyimian prince named Kailas, who is prophesized at birth to bring peace to a world imprisoned by a terrible Empire. However, the prophecy as spoken can only come to pass if Kailas is given away as a baby, and raised by someone of common birth.

This is the story of a prince raised by a cobbler, and the inspiring journey that will not only take the young prince on the adventure of his life, but a voyage into the true depths of his soul. Mystical, spiritual, and deeply relatable by all human beings, the story of Kailas is a testament to the power of our intuition, the strength in following one’s heart, and the true freedom one can find by simply taking a leap of faith.

A wonderful story about a boy going on a journey that will soon become the adventure of his life. The story teaches you about compassion, about going after your dreams, but also how it is never too late to change. For the better.

The cobbler is my personal favourite, such a sweet and wholesome human being. Jampa was also like a sweet little brother… I may be a little slow, but where was Jampa going? Also, what was the purpose of the naked visual of Song?

I will for sure read more books from this author!

This story is very much like The Alchemist - a coming of age adventure with life lessons and a sweet, simple story. Amazing characters and the type of story I can just sit and read in one sitting. One of my favorite books I’ve EVER read (and I read a lot!)

What a wonderful story! I enjoyed it much better than The Alchemist and I'm not sure why since the stories are similar.
