"...the book is a compelling one ... Though the modern world puts value on the material over the spiritual, no matter how much we have materially somehow nothing can ever satisfy us ... It is because we can find no satisfaction in the material world that there is a perennial need for books like Cultivating Spirituality. In its pages we find pointed out a way beyond, whereby we can find the strength to truly live in this modern age." – Eastern Buddhist
"Buddhism, whether in Asia or the West, reveals itself to be a rich tapestry of diverse strands in which pioneers risked their standing and even their very lives to establish new pathways appropriate for their times and places. The editors ... invite the reader to explore developments in Japanese Pure Land Buddhism as emblematic of this tradition of innovation." – Buddhadharma
