* Sylvia Manning’s prompt from Thich Naht Hahn’s Living Buddha, Living Christ, 1995. (I was raised Roman Catholic in a rural parish of mostly German/Anglo-Americans and Mexican-Americans. A number of years ago as I listened to presenters on the world’s religions at a Texas Lutheran University Krost Symposium on “World Religions” I identified most with what the Jewish scholar presented. Nevertheless, I strongly felt I should be Buddhist.)
