Item Description
As a Buddhist community leader—or even a concerned community member—people may have read many sutras, practiced thousands of hours of meditation, or become well versed in Buddhist philosophy, but that does not prepare them for every situation we will face. A Thousand Hands: A Guidebook to Caring for Your Buddhist Community is meant to assist with that work.
Says Ven. Bikkhu Bodhi, “The voices contributing to this volume demonstrate that North American Buddhism is awakening from its predominantly inward and private focus and realizing that our strength for the future lies in healthy, whole, and peaceful communities."
The editors of A Thousand Hands are Nathan Jishin Michon, a PhD student at the Graduate Theological Union, studying Buddhist caregiving, and Daniel Clarkson Fisher, a documentarian and writer whose work has appeared in outlets that include Alter-Net, Religion Dispatches,Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, Patheos, Lion’s Roar, Inquiring Mind, Turning Wheel Media, and Buddhadharma: The Practitioner’s Quarterly.
The Sumeru Press Inc. is dedicated to publishing and distributing Buddhist books and art, with a particular focus on Buddhism in Canada. It celebrates and supports all lineages.
