Description:
Why is Buddhism the fastest growing religion in the West? Best-selling author Vicki Mackenzie has been a Buddhist for 25 years. A skilled interviewer, journalist, and author, she explores this question with extraordinary people who have turned to Buddhism, taking its philosophy and spirit into their lives and work. Among the stories are those of composer Philip Glass, Robert Thurman, and Buddhist luminaries Sharon Salzberg and Stephen Batchelor.
Expand description
The stories present a mosaic of Western responses to the Buddhist way; its ideas about other religions, about work and worldly success, its thoughts on mind, consciousness and enlightenment; views on nature, the family, relationships, and death. The picture that emerges is an intriguing reflection on what Buddhism means to the contemporary West. Buddhism is attracting intelligent and creative thinkers who seek a wiser way to live, inspiring them with joyful spirituality, tolerant and practical ethics, and fellowship within the unity of all life.
