Dear Bro Ika Polim, Setahu saya Buku "I Wonder Why" karangan Ven Thubten Chodron belum diterjemahkan. Memang Ekayana Graha melalui yayasan Dian Dharma telah menterjemahkan setidaknya dua buah judul dari karang Karangan Ven Thubten Chodron.
Buku "I wonder why" ini saya dapat dari Kong Meng Shan Park kor see di Singapore. juga dibagikan secara gratis.
