Budding Lotus in the West

World Religions

“Budding Lotus in the West is an essential, thought-provoking addition to Buddhist literature. It provides a deep dive into the Buddha's teachings, blending them with engaging stories of his disciples and Nhi's insightful, occasionally hilarious personal anecdotes. Equally instructive and entertaining, it addresses modern issues like abortion, marriage equality, and racism. This book is needed for our world, and everyone--Buddhist or not--would benefit from reading and reflecting on its many helpful and timely lessons.”
