Rae, an author, academic, and musician, examines the Grateful Dead’s eventful history and “points to the unique fusion of the band’s ethos and praxis with elements of Buddhist thought.” Certainly, the band’s countercultural milieu was awash in Eastern and Native American spirituality, and, though none of the group’s members practiced Buddhism as such, many of their precursors, peers, and followers did.
