What do we need to do to become truly comfortable--at one--with our
lives here and now? In these essays, Buddhist social critic and
philosopher David R. Loy discusses liberation not from the world,
but into it. Loy's lens is a wide one, encompassing the classic and
the contemporary, the Asian, the Western, and the comparative. Loy
seeks to distinguish what is vital from what is culturally
conditioned and perhaps outdated in Buddhism and also to bring
fresh worldviews to a Western world in crisis. Some basic Buddhist
teachings are reconsidered and thinkers such as Nagarjuna, Dogen,
Eckhart, Swedenborg, and Zhuangzi are discussed. Particularly
contemporary concerns include the effects of a computerized
society, the notion of karma and the position of women, terrorism
and the failure of secular modernity, and a Buddhist response to
the notion of a clash of civilizations. With his unique mix of
Buddhist philosophical insight and passion for social justice, Loy
asks us to consider when our awareness, or attention, is bound in
delusion and when it is unbound and awakened.
