What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Moon, longtime editor of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship’s journal Turning Wheel , has anthologized some of the journal’s best articles into the current book… . Moon’s real brilliance is insisting on essays that eschew the hypothetical. Instead they describe frankly the intimate joys, humor, failures, even despair, of practicing engaged Buddhism.”– Publishers Weekly
