«Dans la main de Bouddha» is the autobiographical account by Chow Ching Lie, published by J'ai lu in paperback (285 pages, in French).
After being widowed and exiled in Paris, Chow Ching Lie balances her roles as businesswoman and pianist with those of mother and grandmother. Her account weaves love for China with Buddhist wisdom, reviews episodes of history, and denounces abuses against her people. In China she is treated as a capitalist traitor, but she never forgets that she was born in the hand of Buddha.
The work was originally published in 2001; this J'ai lu paperback edition is from 2003. It continues the autobiographical account begun in «El palanquín de las lágrimas».
For readers of memoirs and life stories, interested in the history of China and the Buddhist perspective on adversity.
Chow Ching Lie was a Chinese-French writer and a classical pianist. The French film Le Palanquin des Larmes, based on her biography written by Georges Walter describes her early life as the child of a wealthy family, the difficulties she suffered after her arranged marriage at age 13, and her ultimate success as a musician.
