Buddhist Meditations on Islamic Contemplative Paths is a collection of academic lectures and papers that shows the connections between Buddhism and Islam. Within the greater scope of Islamic development, the book describes details of these interactions during the tenth and eleventh centuries. The author provides an abundance of supporting resources and references as she weaves her special knowledge of a little-understood culture that is a rich repository of wisdom and spiritual traditions and traces the unbroken thread that connects us all.
