BALLING BUDDHA, by John Giorno (SIGNED)

Kulchur Foundation, 1970, First edition, 174 pp., 7 1/2" X 10", Softcover

Very good with some rubbing to spine and light handling. Overall, a very presentable copy. (SIGNED by Giorno). 

Introduced to Buddhism by his friend Allen Ginsberg, Giorno began to incorporate the belief system into his work. He went on to become a lifelong practitioner, and in the 1980s founded a dharma center in New York City while also aiding Burroughs in transforming his loft into a practice space. A year after the present volume was published, Giorno visited India and Nepal, where he gifted the Dalai Lama a copy of the book. Published by independent press and arts foundation the Kulchur Foundation, which began as the small literary journal Kulchur in 1961.
