Money Sex War Karma Notes For Buddhist Revolution

"A work of deep and urgent relevance." -- Ethan Nichtern, author of One City: A Declaration of Interdependence "I know of no other book that holds more promise for the survival and relevance of Buddhism in the modern world." -- Lin Jensen, author of Pavement "This book is revolutionary! The clear and concise explanations of Buddhist perspectives on rarely approached topics such as sex, war, and money are an inspiration. If you are interested in personal or societal change, this is a book you need to read." -- Noah Levine, author of Dharma Punx "Loy is a subversive, undermining our cherished opinions and revealing a revolutionary world of human possibility. He describes an emerging Buddhism that speaks to the Western heart and mind and offers hope in a world that has too little. Long live this revolution!" -- James Ishmael Ford, author of If You're Lucky, Your Heart Will Break "David Loy's Money, Sex, War, Karma: Notes for a Buddhist Revolution might have a flashy title, but it is a serious and substantial book that poses real challenges to the reader. Loy argues with conviction that in order to have relevance in the West, the dharma must find the middle way between its many traditional Asian forms and the contemporary Western feel-good consumerism that characterize much of today's spiritualism." ? Buddhadharma "For Loy, Buddhism is not just some gentle spiritual path; it's a tool for social criticism and change. But the revolutionary sword cuts both ways, and just as the West needs Buddhism, says Loy, a living, vital Buddhism also needs the West." ? Shambhala Sun
