"Please read this book with care and compassion for all beings. It
is a deep and rich offering, an important look at the work of
engaged Buddhists who have acted from their practice. The chapters
in this volume show how engaged Buddhists are offering the fruits
of their practice in very concrete ways in the West. These writers
help us understand and gain inspiration from engaged Buddhism as it
is practiced in daily life and in society today. When we study the
Lotus Sutra in Plum Village, we discuss the ultimate dimension, the
historical dimension, and the action dimension represented by the
bodhisattvas practicing engaged Buddhism. In each moment we too can
transform suffering and offer relief to ourselves and to
society."--Thich Nhat Hahn
"This book is crucial reading for all persons who care."--The Very
Rev. James Park Morton, President, The Interfaith Center of New
York
