Near Light We Shine explores the growth of grassroots charity movements in Vietnam. Volunteers promote altruism by citing the Buddhist proverb, "What is near ink, darkens; what is near light, shines", and this book traces how Buddhism directly affects and inspires these widespread yet relatively small-scale grassroots charity movements.
