-- NAPRA ReView
Arnold Kotler's "Engaged Buddhist Reader" is an anthology of the best of sixty Buddhist writings offering a comprehensive glimpse of the range of perspectives and insights on socially engaged Buddhism, a Buddhism that is not just in meditation halls, but which pervades our everyday lives and concerns. The "Engaged Buddhist Reader" contributors include the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, Shunryu Suzuki, Maha Ghosananda, Joanna Macy, Jack Kornfield, Robert Aitken, Maxine Hong Kingston, Saki Santorelli, Claude Thomas, Kenneth Kraft, Robert Thurman, Sister Chan Khong, Sulak Sivaraksa, Gary Snyder, A.T. Ariyaratne, Allan Hunt Badiner, Richard Baker, Peter Mathiessen, Sister Annabel Laity, Patricia Marx Ellsberg, Stephen Batchelor, Bill Deval, and many others. "Engaged Buddhist Reader" is highly recommended reading for anyone seeking to understand Buddhism.

"Unlike traditional forms of Buddhist teaching, the stress here is not on feeling calm, but on using a calm mind (and compassionate heart) to change the world." -- Roger S. Gottlieb

While the Western world was launching the scientific revolution that would ultimately produce an industrialized society, parts of India, Tibet, and China launched a revolution of inner science that began a social revolution that we now have an opportunity to complete.

High Religion
by Sherry B. Ortner
An eminent anthropologist examines the foundings of the first celibate Buddhist monasteries among the Sherpas of Nepal in the early twentieth century--a religious development that was a major departure from "folk" or "popular" Buddhism. Sherry Ortner is the first to integrate social scientific and historical modes of analysis in a study of the Sherpa monasteries and one of the very few to attempt such an account for Buddhist monasteries anywhere. Combining ethnographic and oral-historical methods, she scrutinizes the interplay of political and cultural factors in the events culminating in the foundings. Her work constitutes a major advance both in our knowledge of Sherpa Buddhism and in the integration of anthropological and historical modes of analysis. At the theoretical level, the book contributes to an emerging theory of "practice," an explanation of the relationship between human intentions and actions on the one hand, and the structures of society and culture that emerge from and feed back upon those intentions and actions on the other. It will appeal not only to the increasing number of anthropologists working on similar problems but also to historians anxious to discover what anthropology has to offer to historical analysis. In addition, it will be essential reading for those interested in Nepal, Tibet, the Sherpa, or Buddhism in general.
Religions of Tibet in Practice
by
