From Shabda Articles on Thu, 23 Aug, 2018 - 16:28

OPEN TO ALL

Exploration of what it means to practise Buddhism in the current political and ecological situation.  Appreciating that worldly problems are at root spiritual problems.  Recommending that, as well as teaching meditation and spreading the Dharma, we engage more directly too.  This article is the last chapter of a short book I wrote exploring Buddhism and neoliberalism, which is here:
