Philosophy; History of religion; Buddhism

A book of short inspirational pieces exploring the roots, and real depth and meaning, of the American Dream.

A call for a renaissance of the spirit, of youth, of springtime in America once again. From Thoreau, Emerson and Whitman, to how Buddhism can provide the necessary spiritual underpinnings for the realization of a great new dream of America. Revolution within the individual as the key to everything.

From the cover:

""There is a revolution coming. ""And as it reveals itself in the mind of each man and woman, the mountains will fall and shift, chasms will open, the deserts will run with rivers, beautiful blooms will burst from dry dust, suns will sprout in the sky, animals and birds dance, the nuclear force of ten million stars will break forth with light, and the minds of men and women will reflect in every aspect of their lives the halls and mirrors of Eternity.""
