In Drifting Through Samsara, Masoumeh Rahmani provides a fieldwork-based study of Goenka’s Vipassana meditation movement in New Zealand. This group is distinguished by its refusal to identify as Buddhist and by a rich rhetorical repertoire for repackaging Theravada Buddhist teachings in pseudo-scientific and secular language.
