There's something really wonderful about going through proofs and thinking, you know, these ideas are actually pretty darn good. Past-Esther might just have been onto something. (Less obliquely: preorder our Unruly Books volume today! www.bloomsbury.com/us/unruly-bo...)

A page of text from an Introduction.  It begins:

“Unruly.” The word conjures images of rowdy students, of hair flying in every direction, of things that stubbornly refuse to submit to order. It is not a word that is ordinarily applied to staid, reliable books. But the books discussed in this volume are no ordinary books. Some of them do not exist in any extant form; we may not even know whether they ever existed. Others exist, but in unstable fashion, slippery zephyrs that resist a single form. Yet others are tainted by association: written by voices outside the mainstream, transformed by their links to marginal figures. They are, in short, unruly.

Thanks for the recs I’ll definitely check out HfHR, especially since the Hindu American Foundation puts out a lot of material online… I’ll look again at Religion for Breakfast, but for the most part those work less for these students (they often just feel like white guy video lectures…) Thank you!

Gah! World Religions hivemind: can’t stream humorous, semi-informative (& very American) Colbert Rpt interviews of folks like Uma Mysorekar or Lama Surya Das anymore! What media do you use to provide accessible breaks and/or reinforcement and/or lived examples for learning abt Buddhism or Hinduism?
