	Why I Am a Buddhist By :ASMA,STEPHEN NON-FICTION PICK Stephen T. Asma, PhD, will be the first one to tell you he is not your typical idea of a Buddhist. He eats meat. He drinks too much. He's not interested in giving up sex. If a guy like him can be a Buddhist, so can you. In Why I Am a Buddhist, Asma argues the case for Buddhism. He is iconoclastic and unapologetic. Too often he asserts Buddhism is confused with the more faddish elements of California culture. Being a Buddhist does not require extreme vegetarianism, relentless meditation, or a variety of smells and bells. His take on Buddhism is refreshing and it will make you want to find out more about dharma, karma, and everything in between. Book Details Review
