Synopsis:
As Buddhism is taking root in the West, evloving new forms to suit new conditions, much of its traditional Asian and Oriental context is being called into question. In this intriguing and provocative collection of talks, Robert Mann addresses many of the issues which confront Buddhism as it adapts to modern Western culture.
~Westerners can approach the teaching with a freshness of approach not easily achieved by those who have been steeped in Buddhist traditions since birth. One of their strengths is their readiness to question assumptions. They are not in general happy to accept something just because it is part of a spiritual tradition - they want to understand it for themselves...Perhaps a lasting Western style of Buddhism will emerge, perhaps not. But in the final analysis, the Buddha`s teaching remains alien to each one of us until we come to realise these ancient truths for ourselves. The foreign land is nowhere but in our own minds.~Robert Mann. |
