Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying Buddhist teachings is one thing, but what is it like to actually live as a Buddhist? Lin Jensen's new book is aimed at readers who, like himself, are attempting to do just that. Its focus is not so much on pursuing Buddhist philosophy as on uncovering the ordinary and often contradictory daily experiences inherent in a Buddhist a way of life. Imagining Buddhism as a household and the world as its family, Jensen ponders, How do we keep the rooms clean, the family at peace? Together Under One Roof repeatedly asks the reader this question and it does so because Jensen repeatedly asks it of himself - it's a question he keeps open because no single answer suffices for a guide along the way.
