Description
When the Dalai Lama's image is used to sell computers, rock stars use tantra to enhance their image, and Nirvana calls to mind a Seattle grunge band, what does Buddhism mean to twenty-somethings?
Blue Jean Buddha offers real stories about young Buddhists in their own words that affirm and inform the young adult Buddhist experience. This one-of-a-kind book is about the experiences of young people in America-from their late teens to early thirties-who have embraced Buddhism. Thirty-three first-person narratives reflect on a broad range of life-stories, lessons, and livelihood issues, such as growing up in a Zen centre, struggling with relationships, caring for the dying, and using marathon running as meditation. Throughout, up-and-coming author Sumi Loundon provides an illuminating context for the tremendous variety of experiences shared in the book.
Blue Jean Buddha offers illuminating into the practices and experiences of young people striving to bring Buddhism into their lives.
BLUE JEAN BUDDHA was named a finalist in the 2002 US Independent Publisher Book Awards (Multicultural Non-Fiction — Young Adult) as well in NAPRA's Nautilus Awards, in the Personal Journey/Memoir/Biography category.
