Review :
“This excellent anthology embraces a range of issues from Buddhist perspectives, becoming a demonstration of the ongoing and powerful interrelationship between Buddhism and life in the West. According to editor McLeod, Buddhism continues to have influence beyond our awareness, but collections such as this go a long way toward enlightening us.”—"Library Journal" "Each year I greet with great pleasure--and a divine delight--another new edition of The Best Buddhist Writing. And 2010, seventh in the series, is no exception. If an anthology is a critical act, The Best Buddhist Writing exemplifies high standards."--Gary Gach, American Book Review "This excellent anthology embraces a range of issues from Buddhist perspectives, becoming a demonstration of the ongoing and powerful interrelationship between Buddhism and life in the West. According to editor McLeod, Buddhism continues to have influence beyond our awareness, but collections such as this go a long way toward enlightening us."--Library Journal "How would you like to have a collection of excellent Buddhist writings all in one book for your library? That's exactly what Melvin McLeod and the Shambhala editors have offered up in The Best Buddhist Writing series. This year they have compiled one of their best, and it's not simply Buddhist masters featured."--The Buddhist Blog "An eclectic, inspiring collection of writings."--Eastern Horizon
