Tons of information on Buddhism in the West!

Whether you're an experienced Buddhist practitioner looking for teachings from genuine lineages, or whether you are a beginner trying to find your way, this book has everything. It's rather long, but each chapter is a stand-alone teaching by a different Buddhist master, all of which are available to practice with should you want to travel a little. What I liked best about it was the fact that it dealt with Buddhism from the perspective of someone that lives in America, works, has a family and other relationships.
