This delightful set of three little books outlines
in simple (but not simplistic) terms the life of the Buddha, Buddhist teaching,
and monastic life in Thailand. The author, a former American journalist,
lived in Chiang Mai for many years before his untimely death in 1995. His
views are based on extensive reading on the sources of Buddhism, intensive
interviews with senior and knowledgeable monks, plus his own religious participation
and observations.
Written primarily for Westerners, the books are intended
to give an understanding of and insight into a religion and its practices;
a religion that, twenty-five centuries after the Buddha's death, attracts
the adherence of millions and millions worldwide, not only in Asia, but
also in increasing numbers in the West. |
