In this collection of provocative essays by prominent teachers of Yoga and Buddhism, the common ground of these two ancient traditions becomes clear. Michael Stone has brought together a group of intriguing voices to show how Buddhism and Yoga share the same roots, the same values, and the same spiritual goals. The themes addressed here are rich and varied, yet the essays all weave together the common threads between the traditions that offer guidance toward spiritual freedom and genuine realization.

      This volume unites two traditions and practices that are all too often considered either contrary to each other or indistinguishable. In the popular mind the practice of yoga, reduced to a few contortionistic postures, and the traditions of Buddhism, reduced to simplistic insights, fall under the heading of the mysterious East. This anthology threads the needle rather differently, helping the curious reader find the contrasts and commonalities of the two traditions. Most useful to the novice reader, perhaps, is Frank Jude Boccio's essay, which reflects his background as a teacher of both yoga and Buddhism. VERDICTAlthough some of the contributions are rather technical, this collection marks a crucial step toward mutual understanding between two important Eastern traditions and will bring pleasure and instruction to experienced and novice readers.
