Bohemian Buddhist Review is the brain-child of writer
Paki S. Wright and is borne out of both her meditation practice as a committed, engaged but unenlightened Tibetan
Buddhist, and her writing as a committed bohemian, i.e., unconventional, caffeinated bookworm.
There's a kind of jazzy energy where the two spheres interface, ancient spiritual
wisdom and contemporary mass culture. What can we do to make life better for all sentient beings? It all starts in our
own hearts and minds.
Here's BoBuReview's
idea of a great bumper-sticker:
If you want to change
the world, mind your own mindstream.
"Lively, thoughtful essays" -- Christi Cox, Snow Lion
"Paki, I was very happy to see the Review. After all, if there were
no bridge from bohemianism to spiritual practice I would not be living in an ashram and meditating today! Indeed, the
step from dissatisfaction with things-as-they-are (or were) here in the industrial West through social change activism to
spiritual growth is to my mind the development
path for the vast majority of us sentient beings . . . many do not get beyond the second step (as Gandhi said
of his colleagues, 'I was on the train to Rishikesh but they got off at Delhi').
"What the Review does is help them short-circuit that breakdown and get on with the journey. Thanks and
congratulations!"
