One Dharma

The Emerging Western Buddhism
Book • 2011
In 'One Dharma: The Emerging Western Buddhism', Joseph Goldstein explores the creation of an integrated framework for various Buddhist traditions.

The book provides a brief historical overview of early Buddhism and delves into the mind-changing reflections that bring one to the Dharma path.

Goldstein emphasizes that all Buddhist teachings are skillful means for liberating the mind, rather than statements of absolute truth.

He concludes that the method of mindfulness, the expression of compassion, and the essence of wisdom are the core elements of the emerging Western Buddhism.

The book covers topics such as non-clinging, selflessness, and Nirvana, and suggests that the various traditions of Buddhism are all paths leading to the cessation of suffering through the attainment of wisdom.
