		<description><![CDATA[Knowing Body, Moving Mind investigates ritualizing and learning in introductory meditation classes at two Buddhist centers in Toronto, Canada. The centers, Friends of the Heart and Chandrakirti, are led and attended by Western (sometimes called &#8220;convert&#8217;) Buddhists: that is, people from non-Buddhist familial and cultural backgrounds.
