About this listen
What's Wrong with Sex?
How to Drive Your Karma
Consciousness Commodified
The Karma of Food
The Three Poisons, Institutionalized
Why We Love War
These are just some of the chapters in this brilliant book from David R. Loy.
In little time, Loy has become one of the most powerful advocates of the Buddhist worldview, explaining like no one else its ability to transform the sociopolitical landscape of the modern world.
In this, his most accessible work to date, he offers sharp and even shockingly clear presentations of oft-misunderstood Buddhist staples - the working of karma, the nature of self, the causes of trouble on both the individual and societal levels - and the real reasons behind our collective sense of "never enough", whether it's time, money, sex, security...even war.
Loy's "Buddhist Revolution" is nothing less than a radical change in the ways we can approach our lives, our planet, the collective delusions that pervade our language, culture, and even our spirituality.

Where ecology meets spirituality
Why the West needs Buddhism, and Buddhism needs the West.
This book addressed many issues about Buddhism that I found problematic. Its seeming passivity in the face of the many crises facing the modern world. Written by a person who is an expert in the Western academic culture, as well as being a fully qualified Buddhist teacher and practitioner. An essential read for our times, for anyone from whatever philosophic or spiritual background. And also an enjoyable, accessible listen.

a great argument
first, i need to say this, even though i do not agree with some of the teachings, i am a big fan of buddhism, and i think this book is definitely doing justice to the movement. some of the arguments, logical deductions and parallels drawn between the old teachings and modern society are quite intelligent, definitely found some quotes to keep, and keep thinking about.
i truly believe buddhism is one of the most well-intentioned religions out there in the world, even if it does not align with my personal beliefs about how God looks. i highly enjoyed this book.
