Reviews

The book is ambitious and easy to read, has many "rich descriptions," that would be good for undergraduates and graduate students interested in mindfulness, Southeast Asian Theravada Buddhism, and the anthropology of Buddhism
*Religious Studies Review*

The book is very clearly laid out, written in an engaging and accessible style, and it is appropriate for undergraduate classes and up.
