Synopsis:
This work collects the voices of pioneers in the exciting new domain of vocational Buddhism. This anthology captures the richness and diverse practices of socially engaged Buddhism within the context of the fields of chaplaincy and ministry that until recently were dominated primarily by Judeo-Christian faith traditions. The stories in this volume reveal to the reader how the practices and concepts of the Buddhist tradition are uniquely suited to nourishing both those who give and those who receive care. This book will inspire readers to apply their spiritual practice in engaged contexts and will provide nourishment to those called to serve as caregivers.
