Americans and others in the West have certain expectations and images that come to mind when the word Buddhist comes up. Most people have seen the Dalai Lama on the news or in magazines, and he has almost become synonymous with Buddhism in general. The truth is that by far, the majority of the world's Buddhists are not bald Asian men in orange robes. Buddhists look like you or me--just normal people who try to fit the ideas developed by Buddha into normal modern life.

Fast’s study of Zen also inspired his popular Masao Masuto mystery series about a Zen Buddhist detective in Beverly Hills.

A hajdanvolt Gautama Sziddharta hercegtől, Buddhától egyszer valaki megkérdezte: Ki vagy? Isten vagy? Nem. Angyal? Nem. Szent? Nem. Akkor ki vagy? - Ébren vagyok. Buddha neve annyit jelent: ébernek lenni. Az emberiség hét mértékadó szellemi tanítója között azonban ő nem a teória, hanem az életgyakorlat bölcse. Józansága évezredeken világít át, és útján a mai napig milliók követik. Ő az alapállás (Hamvas) mestere. Az alapállás végtelenül egyszerű. Ez csak az első, kiinduló állapot, de "nincs ennél az egyszerűnél semmi nehezebb".
