Captain Buddha and His Amazing Dukkha Machine

It is 1976, Ken Streat is teaching English in Iran, he is nineteen and is in love with Miss Kate....When his unfulfilled longing leads him to follow her to India he has no idea what is waiting for him. As he ploughs ever deeper into his confusion he comes into contact with some of the great, and some of the not so great, spiritual teachers of the 20th century. From the ashrams, the gurus and life on the road to the beginnings of awakening, Captain Buddha and his Amazing Dukkha machine tells the story of a young man in search of truth with humour and disconcerting honesty.
