She’s back. The extraordinary presence of beloved teacher, Dipa Ma, is now available in a new incarnation. Formerly titled 'Knee Deep in Grace', this revised edition tells the inspiring story of the remarkable Indian woman whose life and practice have deeply impacted the growth of Buddhism in the West.

Bringing Dipa Ma’s love and wisdom vividly to the present moment, this fresh publication includes five additional black and white photos; a vibrant color photo insert; eleven new contributions from Carol Wilson, Patricia Genoud-Feldman and Wendy Palmer; a foreword by Sharon Salzberg and an afterword by Jack Kornfield. This book overflows with the inner strength and compassion of Dipa Ma, who invites each of us to experience freedom for ourselves.
