• catalog abstract "For three days during January 1997, more than eight hundred people met in Boston for the first-ever conference to address issues of Buddhist meditation as practiced in America. This gathering was remarkable in many ways. It brought together men and women from all walks of life--Buddhist monks, nuns, and priests living lives devoted to Buddhism and its practice as well as people just beginning their journey on this path; adherents to a wide array of approaches, traditions, and practices, from India- and Tibet-based Mahayana and Theravada traditions, to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Zen, to the contemporary manifestations of these traditions that have begun to take root in North America and Europe. While the conference centered primarily on contemporary approaches to Buddhist practice, it also included important elements of evocative, deeply mystical, age-old traditions: Tibetan monks painstakingly brought a sand mandala into being. An evening was devoted to Tibetan sacred music and dance. A rinpoche from Tibet performed a medicine Buddha empowerment ceremony. But the principal thrust of the conference arose from the keynote presentations, Dharma talks, and workshops led by Buddhist luminaries who inspired audiences with their lifelong quests for enlightenment and their struggles to understand and embody Buddhist teachings and values. This volume comprises excerpts and synopses of the majority of these talks and workshops and serves as a permanent record of Buddhism in America.--Back cover.".
