The New Buddhism: The Western Transformation of an Ancient Tradition
Coleman, James William (Professor of Sociology, Professor of Sociology, California Polytechnic State University)
This work looks at the evolution of Buddhist practice in the West. After recounting the spread of Buddhism in the East, James Coleman chronicles its reinterpretation by Western teachers, and finds that they have borrowed from different traditions that never intersect in their original context.
