The Jew in the Lotus: A Poet's Rediscovery of Jewish Identity in Buddhist India (Plus)
Kamenetz, a poet and professor of Eng-lish, accompanied a group of eight Jewish leaders to Dharamsala in October 1990 for a Jewish/Tibetan Buddhist interfaith dialog that reinspired him both spiritually and as a Jew. The narrative reveals interesting parallels, thorny problems, and profound mystical insights as Kamenetz relates his encounters with Tibetan leaders, including the Dalai Lama, and with Jewish rabbis and cultural leaders. Highly recommended for all libraries.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
