Synopsis:
Paine - the author of Re-Enchantment, has assembled the adventures of nine Westerners who traveled in The East and then integrated Buddhism into their lives, demonstrating how their personal example makes Buddhism relevant to us today.
Includes: Tibet As it Once Was by Alexandra David-Neel; A Himalayan Guru of the Old Style by Lama Anagarika Govinda; the Lost World of Chinese Buddhism by John Blofeld; Taoism and/or Buddhism by Peter Goullart; Reality in a Zen Monastery by Janwilliam Van de Wetering; an African-American Woman's Journey by Jan Willis; In Search of Women's Wisdom by Tsultrim Allione; Suffering and Its Partial Cure by Sharon Salzberg; and the Diamond Sutra, the Diamond Business by Michael Roach.
"Adventures with the Buddha is filled with stories of Westerners who have experienced mysteries, marvels, exotic discomforts, fabeled temples, and that's only the half of it. Then the internal adventures begin…the contemporary accounts are as absorbing as the stories from the romantic past, showing that the most exciting explorations take place within hearts and minds." Booknotes.
"A potent anthology that informs, delights and fires the imagination." Publishers Weekly. |
