American Sutra

Duncan Ryuken Williams reveals the little-known story of how, in the darkest hours of World War II when Japanese Americans were stripped of their homes and imprisoned in camps, a community of Buddhists launched one of the most inspiring defenses of religious freedom in our nation's history, insisting that they could be both Buddhist and American.

Duncan Ryuken Williams dezvaluie povestea putin cunoscuta a modului in care, in cele mai intunecate ore ale celui de-al doilea razboi mondial, cand japonezii americani au fost dezbracati de casele lor si inchisi in lagare, o comunitate de budisti a lansat una dintre cele mai inspirate aparari ale libertatii religioase din tara noastra istorie, insistand ca pot fi atat budiste, cat si americani.
