Being Buddhist in a Christian World: Gender and Community in a Korean American Temple - Being Buddhist in a Christian World
Sharon A. Suh
Aiming to challenge Western notions of Buddhism, the author shows how 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. It also examines the implications of this grounding when the religious tradition is considered to be socially marginal.
