From the book:
"There is a revolution coming.
"And as it reveals itself in the mind of each man and woman, the mountains will fall and shift, chasms will open, the deserts will run with rivers, beautiful blooms will burst from dry dust, suns will sprout in the sky, animals and birds dance, the nuclear force of ten million stars will break forth with light, and the minds of men and women will reflect in every aspect of their lives the halls and mirrors of Eternity."

--Scott Nance, The Washington Current:
"For most Americans, Buddhism conjures exotic images of faraway lands, mysterious statues and monks in colorful robes. But with his excellent new book, James Hilgendorf proves Buddhism also reflects the American experience.
"Tracing the emergence of Buddhism in America to the 1844 publication of a Henry David Thoreau essay, 'The Buddha and the Dream of America' is a great read for all Americans, Buddhist or not."
