Summary:
"What does it mean to be
Black
and
Buddhist
? In this powerful collection of writings, African American teachers from all the major
Buddhist
traditions tell their stories of how race and
Buddhist
practice have intersected in their lives. The resulting explorations display not only the promise of
Buddhist
teachings to empower those facing racial discrimination but also the way that
Black
Buddhist
voices are enriching the Dharma for all practitioners. As the first anthology comprised solely of writings by African-descended
Buddhist
practitioners, this book is an important contribution to the development of the Dharma in the West. With contributions by Acharya Gaylon Ferguson, Cheryl A. Giles, Gyozan Royce Andrew Johnson, Ruth King, Kamilah Majied, Lama Rod Owens, Lama Dawa Tarchin Phillips, Sebene Selassie, and Pamela Ayo Yetunde."--publisher's website.
