Description

Buddha at the Apocalypse : Awakening from a Culture of Destruction, Paperback by Spellmeyer, Kurt; Thurman, Robert A. F. (FRW), ISBN 0861715829, ISBN-13 9780861715824, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Timely and audacious, Buddha at the Apocalypse challenges us to look directly at the devastating assumptions underlying the very mechanisms of the modern world. We believe with certainty in the inevitable forward march of progress, in the natural rightness of humankind’s control of the environment, and, most pervasively, in the idea of an epic struggle that requires righteousness to utterly destroy evil. These images of apocalypse and dominance pervade our language, our politics, and, with coming of 2012, even our escapist entertainment. In Buddha at the Apocalypse, Kurt Spellmeyer offers us an alternative view that comes like breath of cool, fresh air in these times. Drawing on the Buddha, Spellmeyer makes an impassioned clarion call to awaken from the culture of destruction ? or perish within it. Th also features a foreword by the most high-profile Buddhist academic in America ? and possibly the world.
