Opis

Introduces contemporary Buddhists from across Asia and from various walks of life. The editors have collected sixty-six profiles of individuals who would be excluded from most Buddhist histories and ethnographies. In addition to monks and nuns, readers will encounter artists, psychologists, social workers, healers, and librarians as well as charlatans, hucksters, profiteers, and rabble-rousers.
