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, literary, 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?  Especially in this momentous year of 2012?  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!"
