""Kalyāṇamitra: A Model for Buddhist Spiritual Care" is a reflection on what is involved in being and acting as a Buddhist chaplain. Rev. Dr. Monica Sanford is one of only two Buddhists in North America to lead a religious life department at a college or university.

Sanford's book presents a cogent and well-researched pitch for a Buddhist perspective that will contribute important new ways of thinking about the field. Unlike ordained clergy in their normal liturgical role within intentional communities meeting in sacred spaces, chaplains find their profession within inter-religious careseekers and colleagues in secular spaces. This is one of only a handful of books exploring the unique skills required of those who seek a career as chaplains."--

It is very natural that people turn to a spiritual or religious community in times of trouble, and when such a person comes our hearts may fill with compassion and want to do whatever w...
