The book serves not only as the most comprehensive directory of Buddhist activity in North America, but also as a highly readable introduction to Buddhist practice in general. Photos & illustrations .媒体推荐"The front cover describes this book as 'the most comprehensive introduction to Buddhism in America – with dozens of articles by leading Buddhist teachers, scholars, and students, and detailed listings to over a thousand Buddhist meditation centers in the United States and Canada.' Cross-indexed by name as well as location, this volume functions well as a guidebook, though it will not fit into your pocket. The book is divided into four sections, reflecting the major paths of Buddhism: Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana, and a fourth called 'Buddhayan: Nonsectarian Buddhism and Mixed Traditions.' Here you will find a very brief description of BPF and a somewhat longer passage on the BASE program.
"There's more than one lifetime of possibilities listed here for investigation. Wonderful photographs of many of the authors and a clear design make this an invaluable tool for any seeker, useful for search, research, and tasting the many flavors of contemporary western Buddhism. Both the reality ofso muchnessand of putting it between covers is an awesome accomplishment."—Turning Wheel, Summer 1998, p.40
