Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma's imprisoned State Councilor Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, mother of two, and devout Buddhist, is one of the most inspiring examples of spiritually infused politics and fearless leadership that the world has ever seen. The Voice of Hope is a rare and intimate journey to the heart of her struggle. Over a period of six months, Alan Clements, the first American ordained as a Buddhist monk in Burma in modern times, met with Aung San Suu Kyi shortly after her release from her first house arrest in July 1995.

In Natural Freedom, spiritual activist Alan Clements gives voice to what may very well be this new spirituality. He calls it "natural freedom", the essence of spiritual life common to all people. Not a doctrine but an intuitive process that comes out of your own inquiry and self-honesty, natural freedom is a way of "feeling into" your heart to uncover the truth in your daily life - a truth that will empower you to live with courage, compassion, and radical self-responsibility.
