About This Book

Why is Buddhism the fastest-growing religion in the West?

Journalist and bestselling author Vicki Mackenzie explores this question through candid conversations with Western practitioners who have integrated Buddhism into their personal and professional lives.

Drawing on 25 years of experience across Australia, the UK and the USA, Mackenzie interviews a diverse range of voices including counsellors, writers, a woman lama, a terminal cancer patient, composer Philip Glass, Buddhist nun Robina Courtin, actor Tracy Mann, photographer Clive Arrowsmith and Zen teacher Yvonne Rand.

Their reflections explore:

  • Consciousness and compassion

  • Work and worldly success

  • Family and relationships

  • Nature and death

  • Reincarnation and other faiths

At a time when Western culture often feels dominated by materialism and individualism, this book examines why thoughtful people are turning toward Buddhist ethics, spiritual practice and community as a wiser way to live.


Ideal For

  • Readers curious about why Buddhism resonates in Western culture

  • Students of modern Buddhist movements

  • Those exploring spirituality from a non-dogmatic perspective

  • Collectors of Vicki Mackenzie’s work

Care of Dharma (Buddhist) Books:

Dharma books contain sacred teachings and should be treated with respect. When not in use, keep them in a clean place, preferably on a high shelf. Avoid placing them directly on the floor or in places where they might be mistreated. If a Dharma book becomes damaged or worn, consider offering it to a Buddhist centre for proper handling or respectful disposal. By caring for these books, we honour the wisdom they contain and the path they illuminate.
