Synopsis
An enlightening examination of the ways our capitalist system depends on three corrupt principles: greed, hatred and ignorance. After exploring in Free to be Human the ways the mass media distorts our understanding of many personal, ethical and spiritual issues to make us willing to accept the irrational values of corporate consumerism, political writer David Edwards is back with another powerful read. In The Compassionate Revolution, David builds on his argument, showing how our capitalist system is dependent on the promotion of the three Buddhist Poisons of Greed, Hatred and Ignorance: greed for profit at any cost in terms of human suffering; hatred of foreign obstacles to profit; ignorance of the cosy link between Western corporations and Third World dictators, helping to protect Western profits. Western activists need to recognise the truly revolutionary potential of the Buddhist conviction that compassion is the basis of all happiness. The antidote to exploitative social systems is rational awareness rooted in unconditional kindness and compassion for all. By marrying the political arguments of activists like Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn with the compassionate awareness of Buddhist writers such as Aryasura, Geshe Gyeltsen and Stephen Batchelor, David shows how we can instigate a compassionate revolution in which the only enemies and casualties are greed, hatred and ignorance., Shows how our capitalist system is dependent on the promotion of the three Buddhist 'Poisons' of Greed, Hatred and Ignorance:?greed for profit at any cost in terms of human suffering; hatred of foreign obstacles to profit; and ignorance of the cosy link between Western corporations and Third World dictators, helping to protect Western profits., In his first book "Free to be Human", David Edwards showed how the mass media, controlled by powerful business interests, distort our understanding of many personal, ethical and spiritual issues, ensuring that we remain passive, conformist and uninformed - and willing to accept the irrational values of corporate consumerism. In this book he builds on the argument, showing how our capitalist system is dependent on the promotion of the three Buddhist "poisons" of greed, hatred and ignorance: greed for profit at any cost in terms of human suffering; hatred of foreign obstacles to profit; and ignorance of the cosy link between Western corporations and Third World dictators, helping to protect Western profits. Western dissidents need to recognize the truly revolutionary potential contained in the Buddhist conviction that "compassion is the basis and cause of all happiness". The antidote to exploitative social systems is rational awareness rooted in unconditional kindness and compassion for all. To the extent that we hate the architects of exploitation, we promote the very forces on which exploitation depends. By marrying the political arguments of Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman with the compassionate awareness of Buddhist writers like Aryasura, Geshe Gyeltsen and Stephen Batchelor, Edwards shows how we can instigate a compassionate revolution in which the only enemies and causalties are greed, hatred and ignorance., The Compassionate Revolution shows how our capitalist system is dependent on the promotion of the three Buddhist Poisons of Greed, Hatred and Ignorance: greed for profit at any human cost; hatred of foreign obstacles to profit; and ignorance of the cosy link between Western corporations and Third World dictators. In his first book, Free to be Human, David Edwards showed how the mass media, controlled by powerful business interests, distort our understanding of many personal, ethical and spiritual issues. The Compassionate Revolution builds on this argument; showing how we are kept passive, conformist, uninformed and willing to accept the irrational values of corporate consumerism.

- b***m (270)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufVest is as described, in great condition, and was at a good price. It was packaged well, but the shipping took a little longer than I'd hoped (I guess that's the USPS these days). Excellent eBay seller, thank you!
- f***y (1130)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufExcellent seller. Too many book sellers just plop a book into a padded mailer and call it good. Not this seller! Book was sealed in plastic, wrapped in packing then placed in a sturdy box. Arrived perfectly. Book is better than described. Order was promptly shipped. A+ and highly recommend seller.
