Buddhaland Brooklyn (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

A clash of East & West. The buddhist priest coming from a contemplative life removed from temple politics is thrown into the midst of a building project in New York. Any group attempting to get along with each other creates stress. Handling it is the problem. Things do work out as their are a number of strong leaders.What strikes me as odd is that there are no Japanese-American adherents. Everyone is Caucasian. In most cases of temples being established, esp in N.A. it is the ethnic members that are the moving force. This book is pure imagination. I've no idea how the author plucked a tale like this one out of his brain to set down on the page, but I'm glad he did.In many ways, it's a story about stagnation and growth, losing and finding, confusion and understanding. I'm not going to tell you the plot line or the characters as I can see many have done so before me and I hate spoilers.I will tell you that if you're feeling a bit down on the human race, this book might help you feel a little better about us in the end. We're all in it together.
