Patchwork

This is an unedited collection of works from a modern, western Buddhist author. Previously focusing on word of mouth to present his work, Matthew New for the first time offers his work in a written format. The book is a patchwork of stories, poems and essays looking to offer an implicit human message based on the authors life experience of trying to meet Buddhist ideals, in order to create, bit by bit, a Buddhist culture in the west that is truly authentic to the teaching of the Buddha but naturally comprehensible to the western imagination.
