Product Overview
Living Buddhist Masters is of singular value because, rather than filtering Buddhist traditions through Western matching concepts, it gives us the explanations of Asian Buddhists themselves -- in this case, interviews with and discourses by such masters of the Burmese school of meditation as Achaan Chaa, Mahasi Sayadaw and U Ba Khin. Kornfield's style is refreshingly clear; refreshing, too, is the variety of differing views he is willing to expose.
