Levente Csender, author of this book had the pleasure of spending five weeks with Franciscan monk Csaba Böjte. They traveled thousands of kilometers in Transylvania, and along the way, they got lost in conversations about life, death, faith, solidarity, and many other things that concern people today. Their trip became an inner journey, and thus, in the course of the travels, Brother Csaba's herbarium was born.

What does this “Herbarium” actually contain? Our intention is to share healing thoughts which will help our readers thrive, fill their souls with light, illuminate their minds, and help them raise their gaze from the earth beneath their feet to the sky above their heads. It is part of our striving to find the harmony between body, mind, and soul. It is a concrete step towards inner balance and contentment.

This book is, in part, a record of five weeks of travels in Transylvania with Brother Csaba. In it, you will find cheerful conversations, laughter, and a record of his innumerable remarks, all infused with Franciscan serenity.
