Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love, and Liberation [9781623170981]

Overview

Without inner change, there can be no outer change. Without collective change, no change matters.

The groundbreaking classic for engaged Buddhists and anyone ready to bridge the gap between inner work and outer practice—a powerful blueprint for collective liberation written in the Black prophetic tradition


Authors Rev. angel Kyodo williams, Lama Rod Owens, and Dr. Jasmine Syedullah, PhD, unflinchingly show us that it’s long past time to step beyond the comforts of “good behavior” Buddhism…and that the time is now to step up and embody a truer Dharma rooted in love, justice, and power. A modern spiritual classic and fierce call to action, Radical Dharma is also a dynamic and deeply moving volume of essays and dialogues that will help you:

• Unite your inner and outer paths: How deep personal healing and systemic social transformation are intertwined
• Understand and confront white supremacy in your sangha or community: Why it’s essential to interrogate the “mind of whiteness” and lean courageously into discomfort, truth, and necessary reckonings
• Show up to your spiritual practice as your whole self: How to celebrate and affirm intersectional, queer, and Black identity, even (and especially) if you don’t see yourself reflected in your sangha
• See spiritual work as justice work: How to uplift and live the Dharma as teachings that transcend color, class, and caste

Since its publication in 2016, Radical Dharma has ushered in essential conversations about race, love, and liberation—and ignited dialogue that’s broken out far beyond the American Buddhism and meditation worlds into our national collective movements. Offering their own histories and experiences, williams, Owens, and Syedullah forge a path toward an end to suffering and recast the concepts of engaged spirituality, social transformation, inclusiveness, and healing.
