Money, Sex, War, Karma : Notes for a Buddhist Revolution

David R. Loy has become perhaps the greatest advocate of the Buddhist world view's ability to transform the socio-political landscape of the modern world. In this, his most accessible work to date, he offers clear presentations of oft-misunderstood Buddhist staples -- the working of karma, the nature of self, the causes of trouble on both an individual and societal scale -- while also inviting readers to examine topics closer to home, such as "Why We Love War" and the real reasons behind the sense of never having enough time, money, sex, security, or anything else. His "Buddhist Revolution" is nothing less than a radical change in the ways readers can approach their lives, the environment, the collective delusions that pervade modern culture, and even spirituality itself. Bracing yet ultimately hopeful and empowering, "Money, Sex, War, Karma" offers positive tools for contributing to societal change.

From the publisher:

What's Wrong with Sex? * How to Drive Your Karma * Consciousness Commodified * The Karma of Food * The Three Poisons, Institutionalized * Why We Love War

These are just some of the chapters in this brilliant new book from David R. Loy.

In little time, Loy has become one of the Buddhist world view's most powerful advocates, explaining like no one else its ability to transform the socio-political landscape of the modern world.

In this, his most accessible work to date, he offers sharp and even shockingly clear presentations of oft-misunderstood Buddhist staples-the working of karma, the nature of self, the causes of trouble on both the individual and societal levels-and the real reasons behind our collective sense of "never enough," whether it's time, money, sex, security… even war.

Loy's "Buddhist Revolution" is nothing less than a radical change in the ways we can approach our lives, our planet, the collective delusions that pervade our language, culture, and even our spirituality.
