Why The Dalai Lama Is A Socialist - Buddhism And The Compassionate Society

Why The Dalai Lama Is A Socialist - Buddhism And The Compassionate Society - Thryft

Buddhism and Socialism - Uniting Compassion and Equality

This book could be a good read for those who are interested in exploring the intersection between Buddhism and socialism. Terry Gibbs takes a novel approach in highlighting the shared values between these two seemingly distinct ideologies. By delving into contemporary social and economic problems, Gibbs offers a thought-provoking perspective on how principles of compassion and collective effort can shape a more humane and free society. If you're curious about how everyday actions can make a real difference, this book will inspire you to think about creating a better world.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

To the surprise of many, the Dalai Lama recently declared that, 'I am a socialist'. While many Buddhists and socialists would be perplexed at the suggestion that their approaches to life share fundamental principles, important figures in the Buddhist tradition are increasingly framing contemporary social and economic problems in distinctly socialist terms.In this novel and provocative work, Terry Gibbs argues that the shared values expressed in each tradition could provide signposts for creating a truly humane, compassionate and free society. Hopeful about our potential to create the 'good society' through collective effort, Why the Dalai Lama is a Socialist is grounded in the fundamental belief that everyday human activity makes a difference.
