| 抄録 | Vicki has been a Buddhist for 25 years. She explores the question with extraordinary people who have turned to Buddhism, taking its philosophy and spirit into their lives and work. Among the stories are those of composer Philip Glass, Robert Thurman and Buddhist luminaries Sharon Salzberg and Stephen Batchelor.
The picture that emerges is an intriguing reflection on what Buddhism means to the contemporary West National Advertising. Featuring world-renowned Buddhists such as composer Philip Glass and professor Bob Thurman, this text takes a fascinating look at why Westerners are turning to Buddhism in record numbers.
Vicki investigates with the insight of a skilled journalist and interviewer who has explored Buddhism for 25 years in the Us, UK and Australia. Among those who speak candidly about the effects of bringing Buddhism into their personal and professional lives are counselors and writers, a woman lama, a terminal cancer patient, a diamond merchant, composer Philip Glass, Professor Robert Thurman and Buddhist luminaries Sharon Salzberg and Stephen Batchelor."
"The stories present an intriguing reflection of Western responses to the Buddhist way - to its ideas about consciousness and compassion, work and worldly success, family and relationships, nature and death, reincarnation and other faiths. At a time when Western culture seems overwhelmed by materialism and individualism, Buddhism is attracting thoughtful people seeking a wiser way to live, inspiring them with tolerant and practical ethics, joyful spirituality and fellowship within the unity of all life. |
