Summary:
"In
Dixie
dharma
, Jeff Wilson argues that region is crucial to understanding
American
Buddhism. Through the lens of a multidenominational
Buddhist
temple
(Ekoji
Buddhist
Sangha) in Richmond, Virginia, Wilson explores how Buddhists are adapting to life in the conservative evangelical Christian culture of the
South
, and how traditional Southerners are adjusting to these newer members on the religious landscape."--Jacket.
