Summary: An anthology of twenty-six essays
Review: Dharma, Color, And Culture is an anthology of twenty-six essays by Buddhist practitioners of color, including Latino, Asian, Asian American, African American, and Native American authors such as Maxine Hong Kingston, Charles Johnson, Thich Nhat Hanh and more. The common theme of all writings centers upon how tenets and traditions of Buddhism revealed a path to the cessation of suffering. Firsthand accounts by skilled writers about the discovery of spiritual truth, the long road to finding balance, and the obstacles to maintaining and sharing insights into an unpredictable world make Dharma, Color And Culture a welcome contribution to Buddhist studies reading lists.
