Luise, eine Buchhändlerin, ist immer in Sorge, anzuecken oder etwas furchtbar Peinliches zu tun. Und findet es dabei ziemlich anstrengend, nicht anstrengend sein zu wollen. Plötzlich tritt in dieses kleinlaute Leben ein buddhistischer Mönch, kahlrasiert und in Kutte. Er ist kein dauerlächelnder Glücksbringer, aber ein Ausbund an provozierender Gelassenheit: Es geraten zwei Leben an- und ineinander, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten. Und plötzlich wird Luises Leben komisch und abenteuerlich.

Warum vergehen manche Stunden wie im Flug und ein anderes mal ziehen sich wenige Minuten ins Unendliche? Nach einem Beinahe-Unfall beim Apfelpflücken, lässt den kleinen Buddha die Frage warum sich Zeit immer wieder anders anfühlt nicht mehr los. Kurzentschlossen begibt er sich auf Wanderschaft, schließt neue Freundschaften und erlebt wie unterschiedlich man mit der Zeit umgehen kann. Er sammelt erstaunliche Antworten, die dem immer größer werdenden Bedürfnis der Menschen nach mehr Zeit und einem klugen Umgang mit ihr entgegenkommen. Hinreißend und inspirierend.
