Reviews

The brilliance of this book lies in valuing Buddhist experience, whether or not it fits into external schemas. This centers actual Buddhists and their lives. I prize this over anything else in Buddhist studies. -- Franz Metcalf, author of <i>What Would Buddha Do?: 101 Answers to Life's Daily Dilemmas</i> Osto writes not to “prove” the existence of this or that anomalous phenomenon, but to show us that these things happen, and that they are often definitive in the lives of Buddhist converts. Paranormal States, like its subject and subjects, is a gift. -- Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of <i>How to Think Impossibly: About Souls, UFOs, Time, Belief, and Everything Else</i>
