| Abstract | More than a local history, Tibet to Texas makes Buddhist philosophy and history comprehensible and enjoyable for the Western reader by
• providing an overview of Buddhism
• exploring the broader context of Buddhism’s evolution in North America
• and covering controversial political issues in Tibetan Buddhism.
Tibet to Texas also captures the personalities and intense human struggles of Texans striving to practice the four sects of Tibet’s Karma Kagyu Buddhism in the Lone Star State. This is the story of heroic individuals such as Jan Puckett, whose efforts led to the 1991 establishment of the Rigpe Dorje Foundation in San Antonio.
Other Texas stories include the introduction of Chogyam Trungpa’s Shambhala International to Austin in 1974; the arrival of Lama Ole Nydahl’s Diamond Way in League City in 1992; and the story of the Karma Triyana Dharmachakra system finding a home in Dallas in 1986. |
