Review

Arnold Kotler's Engaged Buddhist Reader is an anthology of the best of sixty Buddhist writings offering a comprehensive glimpse of the range of perspectives and insights on socially engaged Buddhism, a Buddhism that is not just in meditation halls, but which pervades our everyday lives and concerns. The Engaged Buddhist Reader contributors include the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, Shunryu Suzuki, Maha Ghosananda, Joanna Macy, Jack Kornfield, Robert Aitken, Maxine Hong Kingston, Saki Santorelli, Claude Thomas, Kenneth Kraft, Robert Thurman, Sister Chan Khong, Sulak Sivaraksa, Gary Snyder, A. T. Ariyaratne, Allan Hunt Badiner, Richard Baker, Peter Mathiessen, Sister Annabel Laity, Patricia Marx Ellsberg, Stephen Batchelor, Bill Deval, and many others. Engaged Buddhist Reader is highly recommended reading for anyone seeking to understand Buddhism. -- Midwest Book Review

About the Author

Arnie Kotler, M.A. UC Berkeley, was founding publisher and editor-in-chief of both Parallax Press and Koa Books, where he worked closely with authors on memoirs and books on psychology, spirituality, social justice, the environment, war and peace, indigeneity, and a host of other topics.
Koa Books, founded in 2005, publishes works that foster a deeper understanding of personal transformation, social justice, and Hawai'i.
Arnie Kotler is specialized in developmental editing, worked closely with authors to improve clarity, concision, consistency, grammar, and flow. Keeping the author’s unique voice is paramount for Kotler. He likes to describe his editing himself as clarification with heart, what Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., described as "simplicity on the other side of complexity."
