al bloom endorses dharmavidya's new book
Dharmavidya's book about Pureland Buddhism (about which Western books are thin on the ground) and the death of his mother will be out soon.
Al Bloom writes: Dharmavidya's book "Who Loves Dies Well" is right on the mark. As he takes us through the sufferings of his mother in her last days, he intertwines his experiences as a devoted caretaker and a son with his clear understanding of Pure Land Buddhism in an illuminating and inviting style. His observations on religion in general, Buddhism and life make this a valuable book for anyone's library.
He also writes: I hope that you can develop a sangha in the US and provide people with a modern and relevant interpretation of Pure Land as you have been doing in the book.
