Geiman's timely and masterful yet simple engagement of dharma from a Buddhist perspective in Alone in a World of Wounds provides a new perspective on alleviating suffering in this world, emphasizing the realization of dharma and its agency in affirming that one is not alone in this world of wounds. This book is meant to be read deeply and to have its ideas employed in society to stop violence and atrocity and heal the world. --George Pati, co-editor of Transformational Embodiment in Asian Religions Geiman provides an important balancing perspective on the purpose of the Buddha dharma for any era--not primarily to alter social or individual conditions of suffering but to eradicate the mental conditioning that gives rise to suffering and to embody that depth of freedom for others. It behooves socially engaged Buddhists to reflect deeply on Geiman's critique, to assess whether we are truly engaging the fullest liberating potential of the Buddha's teaching. --John J. Makransky, author of Buddahood Embodied
