With the spread of Buddhism worldwide, Buddhist communities have become established in new lands and continue to adapt to changing circumstances. "Building Community" offers practical perspectives on the Buddha's guidelines on community life in relation to contemporary cultural situations, beginning with fifty discourses by Venerable Bhikshuni Master Wuyin Shih that draw on decades of her experience leading a Buddhist community in Taiwan. The second half of the book shifts to more intimate, personalreflections on Buddhist community life with essays by Venerable Master Wuyin's students on their relationship with their spiritual mentor and monastic training. Together, these essays bring to life the joys and challenges of building, sustaining, and thriving in religious community, celebrating the collective endeavor of practicing the path to full awakening.
