Customer Reviews
Great foundation for religion reporters
I wish I had this book when I was starting on the God beat. Today, 22 years later, I still get a bit confounded by Buddhism, but this book cleared up quite a few things for me. Particularly helpful for reporters will be the vast lists of sources on all the different types of Buddhism as they are practiced around the world - complete with links, phone numbers and email. A vital resource.
