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.
