Reviews

"A treat and a challenge, this book is highly recommended ... a very special contribution to the field." -Library Journal

"Rita Gross must be commended for her 'soaring' and dynamic presentation of the continuing impact of Buddhist tradition on contemporary America. This book is a valuable study for those interested in gender studies and the modern interaction between Indic religions and indigenous American culture." --James Kenneth Powell II, International Journal of Hindu Studies, 1999
