Being Buddhist in a Christian World: Gender and Community in a Korean American Temple
Suh, Sharon A. (Chair, Theilene Pigott McCone Endowed Chair in the Humanities, Seattle University and Seattle University)
Challenging Western notions of Buddhism as a self-effacing path to rebirth and enlightenment, Sharon Suh shows how first-generation Korean Americans at Sa Chal Temple in Los Angeles have applied Buddhist doctrines to the project of finding and knowing the self in everyday life.
