21 July 2004
"As my father describes it, encountering his daughter en route to self-asphyxiation was enough to startle him to his senses. The next day, he moved out of the apartment and into a closet-sized studio at the Zen Center, deciding that Buddhism would be his salvation.

Novelist Rebecca Donner tells the truth on Killing the Buddha.
