by Barbara Gates and Wes Nisker

The Best of Inquiring Mind: 25 Years of Dharma, Drama, and Uncommon Insight Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The journal Inquiring Mind has long been at the fore of contemporary Buddhist thought, and this compendium of its articles, stories, interviews, and poetry traces the many intersections between Buddhism and the Western world. In "Tending to the World," readers explore the work of social activists, while "Living and Dying in a Body" presents personal stories about the ways we use our bodies and the process of watching our bodies expire. In "The Arts of Dharma," the reader is treated to fiction and humor excerpts from Inquiring Mind. This collection includes contributions from Gary Snyder, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kornfield, Ram Dass, and many more.

Review:

"I always look to the Inquiring Mind when I want authentic Dharma. In its pages you will find unadulterated truth." Ram Das

"Inquiring Mind has for decades gathered and preserved essential wisdoms and knowledge of Buddhist practice in the West. This book is an indispensable conversation partner for anyone engaged in — or curious about — the way forward into a more awake life." Jane Hirshfield, author of Nine Gates

Review:

"Inquiring Mind is like a splash of cool water on your face in the morning; it wakes you up. Inquiring Mind is like a cup of fine coffee; it keeps you going with its dharma and humanity. Inquiring Mind is like a banana peel; it makes you laugh. Inquiring Mind is simply one of the great treasures of the Buddhist journals that we have in the West." Jack Kornfield

Review:

"Inquiring Mind captures the creative, expansive expression of Dharma in the West. It explores the on-going challenge of bringing the depth and timelessness of the Buddha's teachings to the specific conditions of our times. A wonderful integration of dharma and daily life."

"Over the years Inquiring Mind has been a spiritual friend to me, providing no-nonsense inspiration and marvelous company." Joanna Macy, author World as Lover, World as Self

Review:

"The 'mind' in Inquiring Mind is consistently engaging, abundantly curious, articulate and reliable. The articles go deep, without any glitz or presumption, prompting thoughtfulness and often new insights on the part of the reader. The aesthetics support and complement the written material. I would like to see Inquiring Mind proclaimed on a banner flown from a blimp floating in the skies over the San Francisco Bay." Yvonne Rand, Zen teacher at the San Francisco Zen Center

Review:

"Celebrating 25 years of authentic voice and spirit Inquiring Mind is a true anchorage for those who seek deep ground in tumultuous times. Here is a publication that walks its talk, is beautifully written, edited, illustrated and designed. Inquiring Mind speaks the living vernacular of engaged dharma practice for all beings." Wendy Johnson, author of Gardening at the Dragons Gate
