About This Item
London, UK Watkins Publishing, 2006. Paperback First Edition UK [2006], so stated. Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to extremities; mildest rubbing. Binding square and secure; text clean. Free of creases. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 256 pages. Foreward by Stephen Levine. First Edition UK [2006], so stated. Trade Paperback. Many Buddhist masters believe the present era of worldwide upheaval from 9/11 and the Iraq War to the tsunami disaster and global warming is a new Dark Age that requires powerful strategies for coping. This book offers hope by bringing together Tibetan Buddhist teachings and contemporary politics. Presenting traditional Buddhist philosophy in a practical, accessible way, the book helps readers cultivate the inner resources necessary to meet challenge and conflict both in themselves and in the world. Author Robert Sachs lays out a series of steps necessary to achieve this, including taking personal responsibility for the future, understanding that there is no need to despair, and becoming "conscious, engaged activists" with a firm spiritual foundation to inform political actions. Sachs's book is a galvanizing reminder, providing a strikingly Buddhist argument that actions can count, both to foster personal change and improve the world.
