Description

When Western students get involved with Buddhist meditation without understanding the cross-cultural translation required, their responses to the teachings are often coloured by unrealistic expectations or unconscious filters. Buddhist Practice on Western Ground explores the expectations that Westerners bring to Buddhism and the ways that they prematurely limit what they can learn from it.
