While his views are interesting, he never really seems to get inside the true nature of the temples or their congregations. Also, he always seems to be looking in from an outsider's point of view, not being of either temple's primary ethnic makeup. Numrich doesn't really probe into truly examining the immigrants' point of view, depending instead on many surveys, figures, and tables. I read this book because I am an Asian American member of one of the two temples studied and wanted to see how it was represented. It's an interesting viewpoint and raises worthy issues but probably should not be taken as an authoritative view on Buddhism in America or the Asian immigrant experience.
