Lotus Girl - My Life at the Crossroads of Buddhism and America
by Helen Tworkov
"An original work—timely, well written, knowledgeable observations on teachers and practice and our American culture, and a refreshing, if careful, honesty in her reflections, often introspective. several chapters could well become books in themselves, and the prodigious name checking almost demands an index. recommended reading!" - Gaetano Kazuo Maida - otherwise known as Tano.
From one of the central figures in Buddhism's introduction to the West and the founder of Tricycle magazine comes a brilliant memoir of forging one’s own path that Pico Iyer calls "unflinching" and "indispensable."Macmillan Publishers link | Amazon linkHelen Tworkov cuke page
