Description

This volume presents a series of interviews through which the author explores the reason for Buddhism's growing appeal in Western society. Through personal examples the text seeks to reveal what Buddhism means to a wide range of people in the UK, Australia and the USA. The interviews cover the process each person went through in becoming involved in Buddhism, as well as the effect it has had on their own lives and any difficulties they may have encountered.
