About

Jim Ringel writes the Lama Rinzen mysteries-a series of crime mysteries wrapped inside Buddhist mysteries. Jim practices Zen, skis, hikes, bikes, and visits brew pubs throughout Colorado seeking the Buddha in everyday life. He writes the Lama Rinzen mysteries as an exercise for settling into life's uncertainty and as a lesson in how questions are the only answers worth discovering. Jim's first book in the series, 49 Buddhas: Lama Rinzen in the Hell Realm, won gold awards for Best Cross Genre fiction and Best Inspirational Fiction.
