In an increasingly secular world where religion is challenged to prove its relevance and to deliver results in this life, is a religion as ancient as Buddhism still able to attract adherence and perhaps even flourish? The essays in this fascinating book attempt to answer this question.

Fourteen men and women from both East and West and from a variety of backgrounds describe how and why they become Buddhists, and the impact that this gentle faith has had upon their lives. Together these essays make a significant contribution to a comparative religion.
