Seems like a good book--I put it on my wish list.

While reading your post, I recalled reading about Tich Nhat Han (sp?). Apparently, he was perplexed by his early encounters with western students. His instructions on loving respect and compassion were not effective. He had been telling his audience to regard everyone (including every creature) as they would their mother. Finally, someone explained the less-than-stellar status of 'mother' in the west. He then tried to use the example 'grandmother'.
