BUDDHISM THROUGH AMERICAN WOMEN'S EYES

by Karma Lekshe Tsomo

Experienced practitioners share their understanding of Buddhist philosophy, its practical application in everyday life, and the challenges of practicing Buddhism in the Western world. Thirteen women contributed a wealth of thought-provoking material on topics such as: Bringing Dharma into Relationships, Dealing with Stress, Abortion, Buddhism and the Twelve Steps, Bodhisattva Peace Training, The Monastic Experience, and Forging a Kind Heart in an Age of Alienation. Among the voices are: Karuna Dharma, Ayya Khema, Michelle Levey, Yvonne Rand, Tsering Everest, and Eko Susan Noble.

"Bravo! This book is so engaging and so genuinely helpful I read it in one sitting. These are wonderful voices, brimming with life-experience and practical on-the-ground advice."--Janice Willis, Wesleyan University
