" A compelling read . . . part travelogue, part primer, part
spiritual quest. Garfinkel brings a reporter's sharp eyes to an
elusive topic." -- Tony Horwitz, author of "Blue Latitudes" and
"Confederates in the Attic"
" Narrating his observations of contemporary Buddhist practice and
meetings with Buddhists in situations that include traditional
Buddhist strongholds and places in the West, where the Dharma has
only recently arrived, Perry Garfinkel presents Buddhism as a
practical approach to human problems. The Buddha's teaching remains
refreshing and relevant today, because, more than two and a half
thousand years ago, he invited people to listen, reflect and
critically examine what he had to say in the context of their own
lives." -- His Holiness the Dalai Lama
" Garfinkel dramatically demonstrates that the socially engaged
Buddhism movement is growing globally and touching millions of
minds and hearts-- including his own." -- Thich Nhat Hanh
" Garfinkel's global search for the essence of Buddhism today is in
turn entertaining, informative and enlightening. As a raconteur of
the Dharma, Garfinkel is as lively a guide as anyone could hope for
on such a pilgrimage-- Woody Allen in the footsteps of the Buddha."
-- Daniel Goleman, author of "Emotional Intelligence"
