5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent text, clearer than many others

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am a Zen practitioner at a zendo in the Korean lineage, and am sadly deficient in both practice and realization. I have a small library of books on Zen, most of them describing both the theory and practice of zazen. Many of them are difficult to understand when one gets down to the particulars of sitting to realize something that can only be described by analogy, poetry, or by what it is not. They also tend have many pages on describing the wonders of enlightenment and the horrors of rebirth into samsara, and few pages on actual practice. I find that Tracing Back The Radiance, with the particular Korean synthesis of Chinese Zen, does a better job of explaining the theory and practice of zazen than the other books in my library, and I wish that I had found it sooner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worthy of Prolonged Study

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

I am just now finishing this utterly astonishing book and after recommending it to all my Zen friends, I'd now like to recommend it to the general public. The introduction, though one of the longest I've encountered in Zen study, is of deep value in clarifying both the history and in-road psychological techniques of the earlier schools of Chan ( Niu-Tou, Ho-tse, Hung Chao, and "Northern"). Also, there is a richly specific comparison by Tsung-mi of both the benefit and the restriction of perspective that results from using these various psychological techniques that is truly invaluable. In particular for me, being a Zen student for over four decades, the explication of "numinous awareness" and its distinction from "numinous attention" was (and is) particularly riveting. But nearly every explication in this book carries similar significant import. The directness of idea and the return from so many different perspectives to the main focus of Zen practice and its goal-less goal is truly admirable, as is the artfulness in making such an abundance of subtle ideas so accessible. Lastly, Both Tsung-mi and Chinul return repeatedly to the

need to balance scriptural study and actual Zazen practice, which, particularly here in America, where formal study is so undervalued, is an essential reminder. I now view Robert E. Buswell Jr. as another of the current American translator-scholars worthy of practicing Buddhists' deepest gratitude. Obviously, I cannot recommend this book highly enough, in particular, to the Zen practitioner.

Robert E. Buswell is the pioneer and jewel of this English-speaking Buddhist world who introduces Korean Zen Buddhism. He's not only a fine scholar but also a faithful practitioner. His introduction to Chinul provides Chinul's historic context and his relationship with Tsung-Mi. Sudden awakening/gradual cultivation is the key to Chinul's teaching in which he reconciles both the Son (Zen) school and the scholastic school in his time. This is a superb work, especially for those who would like to apply their learning to their practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Important Philosopher in Korean Zen

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

Though Chinul is accredited with being one of the, if not the most, influential philosophers of the Korean buddhist tradition, he is vastly under-read by scholars and Buddhist practicioners alike. Chinul provides penetrating insights into the relationship between language and enlightenment in a way that is both analytically rich while still possessing the mysterious poetics of Zen.



Chinul also provides a nescessary criticism of the misrepresentation of Zen that is seen so commonly in the West. Zen is not a form of anti-intellectualism as some might argue, rather it is a practice that emphasizes the need to break away from the addiction to conceptualization, not abandon it. Cognition and intellectual inquiry is not the problem; these in fact, as Chinul argues, are quite useful and nescessary tools for meditation. Chinul's writings bring our attention to two important aspects of Zen; the need for the restructuring of conceptualization as well as the need to realize the co-dependent relationship between the conceptual and the nonconceptual.



All in all, this is a book I highly recommend and I hope that many people will benefit from Chinul's insights.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chinul's 'Tracing Back the Radience'

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 13, 2010

Verified Purchase

A most excellent representation of Chinul's teaching on the Unborn Buddha Mind.



Chinul's writing clarifies much of Zen's unstated premises from which the great masters of old functioned and taught.



The western followers of Zen, whichever school of Zen they have an affinity to, would be well advised to study Chinul's writing very carefully and also study the Surangama Sutra,which Chinul cites, and to put these teachings into practice immediately.



Prof. Buswell has done a most excellent job of translating this great work and also of supplying a most useful background and context for it.



May all beings be well and be happy and not fail to constantly abide in and as the source of the 'Radiance'.

Chinul (1158–1210) was the founder of the Korean tradition of Zen. He provides one of the most lucid and accessible accounts of Zen practice and meditation to be found anywhere in East Asian literature. Tracing Back the Radiance, an abridgment of Buswell’s Korean Approach to Zen: The Collected Works of Chinul, combines an extensive introduction to Chinul’s life and thought with translations of three of his most representative works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buswell's work offers us more than the usual examination of a Zen master

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2008

Born in 1158, Chinul almost single-handedly reformed and re-vitalized Zen in Korea by the time of his death in 1210. An intellectual giant, and deeply enlightened master, Chinul's influence of Buddhism in Korea parallels that of the greatest masters of all time. All of the surviving Korean schools of Zen trace their lineage through this uniquely gifted Zen master.



Chinul, is sometimes called the "Dogen of Korea", and this abridgement of Robert Buswell's masterpiece makes it clear why. Buswell's work offers us more than the usual examination of a Zen master. Provides readers with a thorough account of the history of Buddhism in Korea, as well as an account of Chinul's remarkable life, including detailed examinations of all three major awakenings that shaped the future course of Chinul's teachings.



Buswell walks us through a meticulous examination of the Chinul's thought and teaching. From Chinul's exposition and integration of Huayen Buddhism, especially as presented by Tsung-mi, to his understanding of original enlightenment and gradual cultivation, and his view on koan practice, and more.



Perhaps the greatest treasure is Buswell's inclusion of translations from Chinul's major works including Secrets on Cultivating the Mind, Straight Talk on the True Mind, Excerpts from the Dharma Collection and Special Practice Record, and more...



All the extras of a scholarly work, including an extensive and detailed easy to use index. This text will is a great exploration of the classic wisdom of Zen.

Kindle

$67.40

Korea has one of the most diverse religious cultures in the world today, with a range and breadth of religious practice virtually unrivaled by any other country. This volume in the Princeton Readings in Religions series is the first anthology in any language, including Korean, to bring together a comprehensive set of original sources covering the whole gamut of religious practice in both premodern and contemporary Korea. 



The book's thirty-two chapters help redress the dearth of source materials on Korean religions in Western languages. Coverage includes 



shamanic rituals for the dead and songs to quiet fussy newborns; 

Buddhist meditative practices and exorcisms; 

Confucian geomancy and ancestor rites; contemporary Catholic liturgy; 

Protestant devotional practices; 

internal alchemy training in new Korean religions; and 

North Korean Juche ('self-reliance') ideology, an amalgam of Marxism and Neo-Confucian filial piety focused on worship of the 'father,' Kim Il Sung. 



Religions of Korea in Practice provides substantial coverage of contemporary Korean religious practice, especially the various Christian denominations and new indigenous religions. 



Each chapter includes an extensive translation of original sources on Korean religious practice, accompanied by an introduction that frames the significance of the selections and offers suggestions for further reading. 



This book will help any reader gain a better appreciation of the rich complexity of Korea's religious culture. 

Robert E. Buswell Jr. is Professor and former Chair of Asian Languages & Cultures at the University of California, Los Angeles, and founding director of the university's Center for Buddhist Studies and Center for Korean Studies. He is the author of The Zen Monastic Experience: Buddhist Practice in Contemporary Korea (Princeton) and the editor in chief of The Encyclopedia of Buddhism.

Review





From the Back Cover

"There is nothing else in English--or probably even Korean--that collects and presents so many authoritative sources on Korea's rich and varied religious traditions. Religions of Korea in Practice sets a standard of interpretive insight and access to Korean religious voices that will be very hard to surpass. The contributors are the world's most important English-speaking scholars of Korean religions."--Donald N. Clark, Trinity University, San Antonio



"With Religions of Korea in Practice, we finally get an anthology of highly reliable English translations of important Korean religious texts with scholarly commentaries that combine academic depth and readability. This is an extremely useful overview of the main traditions of Korean religions, with discussion of the focal issues of each tradition, as well as crucial personalities."--Vladimir Tikhonov, University of Oslo

책소개

이 책은 현재 불교학의 세계적 권위자인 로버트 버스웰(Robert E. Buswell Jr.)이 1985년 캘리포니아주립대학교 버클리캠퍼스에 제출한 박사학위 논문을 원본으로, 1989년 프린스턴대학교출판부에서 출판한 책을 김종명 한국학중앙연구원 교수와 조은수 서울대학교 교수가 공동으로 번역한 책이다.

「중국과 한국의 선사상 형성」은 기존의 한국 불교를 중국 불교의 아류로 간주해온 서구학계에서 한국 불교학을 독립적인 학문 분야로 정립시키는데 지대한 공헌을 한 책이다. 특히 당대 중국과 일본 등 동아시아 불교계 전반에 한국 불교가 미친 영향을 「금강삼매경」을 통해 치밀하게 살펴보고 있다. 「금강삼매경」은 중국의 초기 선불교 형성에 미친 한국의 영향을 살필 수 있는 좋은 자료일 뿐만 아니라, 이를 통해 구산선문을 비롯한 한국 초기 선불교에 대한 구체적인 이해도 도모할 수 있다.

Currents And Countercurrents : Korean Influences On The East Asian Buddhist Traditions: Buswell, Robert E: Amazon.com.au: Books: Currents And Countercurrents : Korean Influences On The East Asian Buddhist Traditions: Buswell, Robert E: Amazon.com.au: Books









Soon after the inception of Buddhism in the sixth or fifth century B.C.E., the Buddha ordered his small band of monks to wander forth for the welfare and weal of the many, a command that initiated one of the greatest missionary movements in world religious history. But this account of a monolithic missionary movement spreading outward from the Buddhist homeland of India across the Asian continent is just one part of the story. The case of East Asian Buddhism suggests another tale, one in which the dominant eastward current of diffusion creates important eddies, or countercurrents, of influence that redound back toward the center. These countercurrents have had significant, even profound, impact on neighboring traditions.



In East Asia perhaps the most important countercurrent of influence came from Korea, the focus of this volume. Chapters examine the role played by the Paekche kingdom in introducing Buddhist material culture (especially monastic architecture) to Japan and the impact of Korean scholiasts on the creation of several distinctive features that eventually came to characterize Japanese Pure Land Buddhism. The lives and intellectual importance of the monks Sungnang (fl. ca. 490) and Wonch'uk (613-696) are reassessed, bringing to light their role in the development of early intellectual schools within Chinese Buddhism. Later chapters discuss the influential teachings of the semi-legendary master Musang (684-762), the patriarch of two of the earliest schools of Ch'an; the work of a dozen or so Korean monks active in the Chinese T'ient'ai tradition; and the Huiyin monastery.

책소개

로스엔젤레스에 있는 캘리포니아대학 교수인 저자가 1974년부터 5년간 송광사에서의 선승 생활을 통해 체험하고 느낀 한국불교에 대한 종합 보고서. 저자는 이 때 경험한 승가 생활을 바탕으로 한국 절의 제도적 구조, 절에서의 일상 생활, 수행 형태, 행자와 이판승 및 사판승들의 활동, 특히 선승들의 활동을 상세히 적고 있다.

김장 만들기, 메주 만들기, 과일따기 등 절에서의 식생활 해결 방법에 관한 부분과 선방의 일과표, 선방 예절, 선방 규정, 여러 고행법 등 선방 생활은 물론이고, 이러한 생활을 견디지 못해 절에서 탈출하는 승려의 이야기까지 자세히 적고 있다.

지은이는 불교 교학에 대한 연구도 중요하지만, 그것을 넘어 교학적 가르침이 실제로 현장에서 어떻게 수행되고 있는가 하는 문제가 더욱 중요하다고 말한다. 이 글을 쓴 목적도 실제로 선승들이 매일 무엇을 하며, 어떻게 실천적 종교 생활을 하고 있는가를 정확하게 전달하는 데 있다고 한다.

또한 구산 스님의 수행기와 그분이 열반에 들 때의 상황 등 구산 스님에 대한 이야기로 많은 지면을 할애하고 있어 지은이의 구산 스님에 대한 각별한 애정과 존경심을 느낄 수 있다.

마이리뷰

외국인이 본 한국불교의 전통과 실제 

얼마 전에 현각이란 법명을 쓰시는 폴 뮌젠 스님의 불교입문기가 베스트셀러가 되면서 불교에 대한 대중적 관심이 고조된 바가 있었다. 이 책은 원래 1992년 미국에서 출판된 책으로 한국 불교를 1970년대에 직접 체험했던 저자의 기록으로 현각의 이야기보다는 좀 더 객관적이고 세밀하다. 현각 스님의 책은 자신의 종교적 회심이란 사적인 면에 더 치중하고 있으니까... 그리고 숭산이란 자신의 스승을 한껏 치켜올리는데 열중하고 있으니까... 반면 저자 로버트 버스웰은 송광사 구산스님 밑에서 수행생활을 했지만 그와의 인연이 그리 큰 부분을 차지하지는 않는다.

그보다는 한국 불교의 특성과 전통, 그리고 실제적인 수행과 삶의 내용을 세밀하게 담고 있다. 현각의 책이 에세이 풍이라면 이 책은 설명문에 가깝고 선가의 관습과 직책, 수행의 구체적인 방법론들과 그 과정에서의 실제적인 일화들, 승려생활들의 요모조모등을 시시콜콜하게 담고 있다. 수행기라기 보다는 인류학적 보고서에 더 가까운 듯 하다.

Review

A myth-shattering foray behind the walls of a Korean Zen Buddhist monastery.... Less the sound of one hand clapping than of hands, mind and heart working together to lead a sanctified life--and, as such, a sound corrective to Western misunderstandings about Zen.Kirkus Reviews is ... forged from own experience and practice.... He enlivens his study with a detailed personal account of his daily life at Songgwang-sa, one of Korea's main monasteries, and with wry humor.... This book should be read by anyone interested in the daily life of Zen training.Martine BatchelorTricycle: The Buddhist Review

From the Back Cover

Robert Buswell, a Buddhist scholar who spent five years as a Zen monk in Korea, draws on personal experience in this insightful account of day-to-day Zen monastic practice. Buswell's depiction of Zen reveals a religious tradition that differs radically from the stereotype prevalent in the West. Westerners exposed to Zen through English-language materials have been offered a picture of an iconoclastic religion that is bibliophobic, institutionally subversive, aesthetically sophisticated, devoted to manual labor, and intent solely on sudden enlightenment. Its most revered teachers are depicted as torching their sacred religious icons, bullying their students into enlightenment, rejecting the value of all the scriptures of Buddhism, and even denying the worth of Zen itself. In discussing the activities of the postulants, the meditation monks, the teachers and administrators, and the support monks of Song-gwang-sa, a major Korean Buddhist monastery, Buswell challenges much of this picture. In the "counterparadigm" of Zen offered in the daily lives of the monks, Zen's putative iconoclasts are replaced by resolute members of a community dedicated to a methodical regimen of spiritual training. Zen's apparent bibliophobia pales to reveal contemplatives learned in classical Chinese and often having extensive experience in Buddhist seminaries. And the brash challenge allegedly made to systematizations of religion, even to Zen itself, fades before monks with strong faith in the arduous way of life they have undertaken. The author's treatment lucidly relates contemporary Zen practice to the historical development of the tradition and to Korean history more generally, and his intimate, sympatheticportrayal of the life of modern Zen monks in Korea provides an innovative and provocative look at Zen from the inside.

Reviewed in the United States on 20 April 2010

Robert Buswell crafts the book "The Zen Monastic Experience" from a combination of research and personal experience in order to shed light on the monastic life and communities of Korea. He gives historic accounts and research interspersed with anecdotes from his own years spent as a monk in the Korean monastery Songgwang-sa. While this book may at first appear to be a written construct of Buswell's historical and ethnographic research, there is revealed an underlying motive to change contemporary Western views of Zen. Buswell uses Korean Buddhism as an example against typical Western thought on the topic, and states in his conclusion, "Modern Son monastic life in Korea therefore offers a valuable counterparadigm to the usual Western portrayals of Zen, an alternative vision that yields quite a different picture of the day-to-day reality of Zen religious experience from that to which we in the West have become accustomed" (Buswell 223). He spends the book explaining his research on the topic and giving a full view of everything about Korean monastic life. In his conclusion he shows some of the disparities between typical Western thought and the Buddhism he has showed in the preceding pages. He argues for a "reappraisal of Zen religious experience" (Buswell 217).

Buswell's combination of research and personal experience makes this book both profoundly informative and entertaining. For every description he gives of a Son practice or monastic tradition, he has a story to illustrate the point more fully. This makes the book suitable for many audiences; it provides the accurate ethnographic and historical research a scholar would require as well as the interesting personalities that would make the book great for even an everyday reader. For example, when describing the different administrative positions within the monasteries, he gives both detailed information about what the job entails as well as behind-the-scenes looks at the politics surrounding it. After describing the position of Abbot, he mentions that because of the heavy workload involved, the monks often have to "cajole someone into accepting the job" (Buswell 109). Later when talking about the intensive meditation week that is practiced during the winter retreat, he describes the occurrence through his own experience. He provides the reader with insight into not only the details of practice, but the effects it had on the practitioner. He says at the end of his talk about intensive meditation, "Then it really was quite remarkable how effective - even almost refreshing, in a bizarre sort of way - such intensive practice could be" (Buswell 189). It is this mixture of information and experience that makes the book so different and compelling to read.

It is precisely this strength that I believe leads to the major drawback of the work. Because he is mixing together several different sources of information, he ends up jumping from topic to topic with little organization. To be fair, strong organization would certainly be difficult in such a work, but the lack of coherency in places leads to confusion and slight frustration while reading. For example, he places the chapters involving administrative officers of the "Support Division" and involving the "Officers of the Meditation Compound" with several other chapters about relations with the laity, history, and practice in between. It was rather confusing to read because just when you thought you had learned about all of the different positions in the monastery, there was an entire chapter left to go. It also felt out of place to have the chapters about the actual monastic practice come before the listings of the different positions because those positions had already been mentioned several times before, and you almost had to skip ahead to find out more about them. This disorganization, however, was the only drawback to the book; overall I found the work extremely informative and enchanting to read.

책소개진제 선사는 “참선을 익히고 꾸준히 정진해 나가면 마음의 번뇌가 다하고, 마음광명이 밝아진다. 그렇게 되면 마음이 항상 밝아 즐거울 뿐만 아니라 업이 소멸되어 모든 일을 원하는 대로 이룰 수 있다”고 말한다. 이 책은 직장에서 고된 일상을 보내고 현대화한 도시생활에서 스트레스를 받는 사람들에게 마음의 고향에 이르는 법을 알려준다. “참 나를 깨달아 마음의 고향에 이르면 어머니의 품과 같이 온갖 시비 갈등과 시기, 질투가 끊어 없어지게 되어 대안락과 대자유를 얻게 된다”고 진제 선사는 우리에게 이른다.



푸른 눈의 수행자 현각 스님이 번역하고, 세계적 불교석학 버스웰 교수가 감수했다. 무엇보다 이 책의 편집 방식은 특별하다. 책의 앞면에서부터는 한글판이 시작되고 뒷면에서부터는 영문판이 시작된다. 단지 책을 뒤집는 수고만으로 새로운 책이 시작되는 것이다. 이를 통해 전 세계인들은 진제 대선사의 참선 수행법 삶의 지혜를 배울 수 있으며, 한국독자들은 법문 공부와 동시에 영어 공부를 할 수 있는 기회를 얻을 수 있다.

책소개

당대 최고의 선지식, 진제 대선사가 알려주는

마음의 고향에 이르는 수행법



푸른 눈의 수행자 현각 스님과, 세계적 불교석학 버스웰 교수가 번역하여 더욱 가치 있는 책!



한국불교의 정통 선맥을 계승하고 있는 진제 대선사(78, 동화사ㆍ해운정사 조실)가 간화선(看話禪) 세계화를 위해 영문 법어집을 출간했다.



《Open the Mind, See the Light》이라는 제목의 이번 법어집은, 한국의 우수한 간화선 수행법을 전 지구촌에 전파하여 인류 각자의 내적 평화를 통해 세계평화를 실현하려는 진제 대선사의 원력이 결실을 맺은 것이다.



부처님의 정통 법맥을 이은 선사가 영문으로 된 간화선 법어집을 출간한 것은 불교 역사상 처음으로, 선(禪)의 바른 안목이 서구사회에 전해지는 계기를 마련했다는 점에서 그 의의가 매우 크다.



《만행-하버드에서 화계사까지》의 저자 현각 스님이 번역하고 세계적인 불교석학 로버트 버스웰 교수가 감수를 맡아, 눈 밝은 선지식의 가르침에 목말라하던 외국인 수행자들에게 소중한 수행의 지침서가 될 것으로 기대된다.



그동안 진제 대선사는 산중 스님들의 전유물로 내려오던 간화선 수행법을 일반인들에게 전파함으로써 선의 대중화, 생활화를 실현하여 한국의 선풍(禪風)을 진작하는 데 주력해 왔다.



하지만 2011년 초 세계적인 신학자 폴니터 교수와의 대담을 시작으로, 지난 9월 뉴욕 맨해튼 리버사이드 교회에서 〈세계평화를 위한 간화선 대법회〉를 개최하는 등 본격적인 간화선 세계화의 포문을 열었다.



진제 대선사는 “앞으로 과학에 뒤떨어진 종교는 도태할 것이며, 21세기에는 선(禪)이 세계를 휩쓸 것”이라고 전망했다. “물질이 풍요로워도 마음의 평화는 따라오지 않는다. 마음의 갈등을 해소하는 길은 오직 참선뿐”이라며 “선 수행으로 마음이 평화로워지면 자연히 세상은 평화로워질 것”이라고 설파했다.



동양정신문화의 정수인 간화선 수행법은 현재 한국에서 가장 활발한 생명력을 유지하고 있으며 앞으로 세계정신문화를 선도할 한국의 대표적인 문화콘텐츠로 부상하고 있다.



우리나라는 세계불교사 속에서 2500년 전 부처님의 법맥이 면면히 전해 내려오고 있고, 또한 간화선 수행의 원형이 그대로 살아있는 유일한 나라이다.(중국은 공산화 60년 동안 간화선 수행의 전통이 메말라버렸고, 일본은 형식적으로만 그 명맥을 유지하고 있다.)



매년 여름과 겨울 석 달간의 안거기간 동안에는 전국의 100여 군데 선원에서 2천여 명의 스님들이 참선수행에 들어가며, 전국 각지의 시민선원에서 정진하는 재가자들의 수행열기도 대단히 뜨겁다. 접기

About this product


Product Information
Why Buddhism? is a series of interviews through which Vicki McKenzie (author of Cave in the Sw) explores the reason for Buddhism's growing appeal in western society. Through personal examples, this book will reveal what Buddhism means to a wide range of people in the UK, Australia and US. The interviews are inspiring and informative, covering the process each person went through in becoming involved in Buddhism, as well as the effect it has had on their lives and any difficulties they've encountered. The subjects interviewed in Why Buddhism? range from the famous, like composer Phillip Glass, actor Tracy Mann, and author/teacher Robert Thurman, to the heroic, such as the nun who brings Buddhist teachings to hardened criminals in jail, the extraordinary - like the Buddhist diamond merchant, and the ordinary made remarkable - like the woman Queensland woman dying a good Buddhist death. Popular rather than scholarly in tone, Why Buddhism? should appeal to those of us who are keen to kw more about a religion that is much talked about but little understood.

Why Buddhism?: Westerners in Search of Wisdom

 Want to Read

by Vicki Mackenzie

Vicki Mackenzie, bestselling author of Cave in the Snow, investigates this question with the insight of a journalist who has explored Buddhism for 25 years. Among those who speak candidly about the effects of Buddhism in their lives are counselors and writers, a woman lama, a terminal cancer patient, a diamond merchant, composer Philip Glass, Professor Robert Thurman, and Buddhist luminaries Sharon Salzberg and Stephen Batchelor. The stories present intriguing responses to the Buddhist way -- to its ideas about consciousness and compassion, work and worldly success, family and relationships, nature and death, reincarnation, and other faiths. At a time when Western culture seems overwhelmed by materialism and individualism, Buddhism is attracting thoughtful people seeking a wiser way to live, inspiring them with tolerant and practical ethics and joyful spirituality.

A fascinating look at why Westerners are turning to Buddhism in record numbers, featuring world-renowned Buddhists such as composer Philip Glass and Professor Bob Thurman.

Why is Buddhism the fastest growing religion in the West? Vicki Mackenzie, best-selling author of A Cave in the Snow, has been a Buddhist for 25 years. A skilled interviewer, journalist and author, she explores this question in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia with extraordinary people who have turned to Buddhism, taking its philosophy and spirit into their lives and work. Among the stories are those of Buddhist luminaries Sharon Salzberg and Stephen Batchelor, and ordinary people: a mother, a counsellor and a businessman.

The book explores Buddhism, ideas about other religions, about work and worldly success, 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.

Some very inspiring stories. The author's views come through somewhat in the interviews, but she is sincere enough that it didn't bother me too much.

If I had to raise criticism, I would say is somewhat prone to equate Buddhism with Tibetanism, treating the many (legitimate) alternatives as oddities or even aberations. For instance she seems genuinely dumbfounded by Stephen Batchelor's skepticism of rebirth, while I would argue Batchelor merely takes the Buddha's teachings of non-self to their logical conclusion.

But when all is said and done, this is an inspiring overview of some dedicated Western Tibetan Buddhists. (less)

Some interesting interviews with a wide range of Western background Buddhists over different traditions. Some well known, others not. Gives quite a good overview of the ways that Western people have taken on Buddhism and adapted some of the practices. It is good that the author also included both sides of views on issues such as karma, rebirth etc.

A really interesting and quite diverse group of Western Buddhist practitioners (many well known, some not so) explain why they find Buddhist practices personally beneficial. Mainly focuses on Mahayana, but does include Theravada too. The book is well written, based on interviews with the subjects which have been presented very clearly, and easy to read.

This was so inspiring. I started meditating more in hope of experiencing even something in the slight that others in this book. It opens your eyes to another life. Another way of existing in this world that carries you through everything imaginable and not so imaginable.

I really enjoyed getting the different perspectives from all the people interviewed because they each said something valuable and unique and equally important for the understanding and progress of someone hoping to embark on the same path. I felt excited to meditate reading it. The concepts were well explained with many stories and anecdotes along the way to help cement your understanding and to some extent the profundity these people have experienced. As a practical person I very much identified with Buddhism. There were some things I didn't agree with quite as much but that's the beauty of it - it's not an all or nothing "religion" which denotes true authenticity for the benefit of every individual whom partakes. I can't wait to continue my journey of discovering the Buddhist philosophy. (less)

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Tibetan!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2010

I think that for me the biggest drawback to this book is the sectarianism of its subjects. Of the 16 people featured in this book by Vicki Mackenzie (herself a Tibetan Buddhist) all but 4 are Tibetan Buddhists, two of them being Theravaden and of the remaining two, Stephen Batchelor was once a Tibetan Buddhist monk and Yvonne Rand is married to a Tibetan Buddhist and say she practices that alongside the Zen for which she is better known. I do think the author could have made more effort to also talk to Westerners who had found themselves drawn to other forms of Buddhism, notably (because it arguably has the largest number of adherents in the West) Zen Buddhism, and explain that there are other ways of experiencing the Buddhist teachings than the way in which it is interpreted in Tibet, which is idiosyncratic to say the least.

That aside, on the whole her interviewees were interesting enough, and had certainly varied in the ways in which they incorporated Buddhist teachings into a "Western" setting and culture, and there is enough general information about Buddhism to attract and inform people who know very little to begin with. Perhaps the two I found most intriguing of those she talked to were Michael Roach, who is a very successful diamond merchant as well as being a Buddhist monk and Sister Kovida, whose humility and understanding of the dharma made quite an impact on more.

Having been riveted by her book "Cave In The Snow", a true story of a really remarkable English woman Tenzin Palmo (formerly Diane Perry), this was never going to be as good, but the stories in it do shed some light on how, why and when Buddhism started to become popular in the West, and as such it is a valuable record.
