Jeff Wilson is a former staff member of Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, the widest-read Buddhist magazine in the United States. He lives in Queens, New York.
Mike Taylor's cartoons have appeared in Tricycle: The Buddhist Review and the book Buddha Laughing.
The torrent of spiritual travel books becomes more niche-specific with The Buddhist Guide to New York: Where to Go, What to Do, and How to Make the Most of the Fantastic Resources in the Tri-State Area. As author Jeff Wilson points out, the New York metropolitan area offers unprecedented opportunities for Buddhists of all persuasionsAthe five boroughs alone contain more than 100 temples and meditation centers including traditions such as Pure Land, Vipassana, Vajrayana, Nichiren and Zen. Wilson's guide to Buddhism's many schools and nationalities is practical, enjoyable and highly informative.
