Facing Up to Evil, Abolishing Our Racial Caste System Conclusion Notes Works Cited IndexReviews"""Well-written and evocative, Strain's book makes the case for a new form of prophetically inspired and socially engaged Buddhism. With immense suffering being generated today by systemic structures of oppression, the collaborative partnership of contemplative traditions (such as Buddhism) and socially conscious sensibilities (such as those of the Hebrew prophets) is both timely and potentially transformative."" — Will W. Adams, author of A Wild and Sacred Call: Nature–Psyche–Spirit ""This is a comprehensive assessment of the Engaged Buddhist movement from one of its veteran practitioners. It marries the strengths of the movement with prophetic strains, producing a mutually empowering and illuminating synthesis."" — Jason M. Wirth, author of Mountains, Rivers, and the Great Earth: Reading Gary Snyder and Dōgen in an Age of Ecological Crisis" Author InformationCharles R.
