Synopsis
In this account of the 2,000-year transmission of Buddhism to the West, Sutin introduces the seekers, sages, explorers, and charlatans through whom Buddhism has become a part of the cultural landscape in the West., In the tradition of Karen Armstrong, Jack Miles, and Thomas Cahill comes a magisterial history of the coming of Buddhism to the West. How did Buddhism -- long regarded as a nay-saying Eastern cult that rejected the notion of a transcendent God -- come at last to have so pervasive an incluence in the West? In an age when the Dalai Lama has become a prominent figure on the bestseller lists, the impact on the West of key Buddhistic ideas such as karma and rebirth, the healing power of compassion, and the fundamental interconnectedness of all life cannot be overstated. The modern-day creation of a distinctly Western Buddhism is arguably the most significant spiritual development of our time -- but as Lawrence Sutin masterfully demonstrates in All Is Change , the West's embrace of Buddhism happened not overnight, but over more than two millennia., The modern-day creation of a distinctly Western Buddhism is arguably the most significant spiritual development of our time. Few realize, however, that the complicated dance between Western and Eastern religions has gone on for more than two millennia. ALL IS CHANGE is the definitive account of the two-thousand year transmission of Buddhism to the West. From the early exchanges between the Classical Greeks and the Buddhists of India to the encounters between Buddhist and Christian traders and missionaries in China to the influence of Buddhism on Western philosophers and the current fascination with the Dalai Lama, this is a riveting tale of the seekers, sages, explorers and charlatans through whom Buddhism has made its way to become a part of the cultural landscape in the West., In the tradition of Karen Armstrong, Jack Miles, andThomas Cahill comes a magisterial history of the coming of Buddhism tothe West.
