How the Swans came to the Lake: A Narrative History of Buddhism in America, by Rick Fields. Published by Shambala, Boston: 1986. ISBN: 0877733546. 445 pages. Synopsis: Rick Fields documents the many-faceted story of West-meets-East, which resulted in the planting and flourishing of Buddhism in America. There was the pioneering spirit of Emerson and Thoreau, the enthusiasm of Oliver Wendell Holmes, the beginnings of Chinese and Japanese immigration to the U.S., and the landmark "white Buddhists" -- Colonel Olcott, Madame Blavatsky, and the Theosophical Society. But it was in the wake of the World Parliament of Religions of 1893 that authentic Buddhist teachers came: Soyen Shaku, D.T. Suzuki, Nyogen Senzaki, and others, giving rise to the popularity of Alan Watts, beat-generation writers Ginsburg, Kerouac, and Snyder, and the establishment of present-day Zen, Theravadin, and Tibetan Buddhism.
