Radical Dharma
angel Kyodo Williams
About this book
Confronts the racial homogeneity of American Buddhism and argues that the liberation promised by the dharma is incomplete unless it addresses systemic racism. A call for a dharma that does not bypass the body politic.
Key themes
- Race as a dharma issue — not separate from liberation practice
- How American Buddhism has reproduced racial whiteness
- The three pillars of embodied liberation: tradition, community, justice
- Why individual awakening without social consciousness is incomplete
- Black liberation theology as a dharma teaching
