| Abstract | In the excellent, 1996 compilation of 42 essays and poems, one contributor writes："Anyone who looks at this world and society and sees its tremendous suffering, injustice, and danger will agree on the necessity to do something, to act in order to change, in order to liberate people" (p.77). The sense of responsibility is the "touchstone" (p.66) of Buddhist engagement. "Everything is interdependent and mutually conditioning," Joanna Macy observes, "each thought, word, and act, and all beings, too, in the web of life."
Arnold Kotler's Engaged Buddhist Reader is an anthology of the best of 60 Buddhist writings offering a comprehensive glimpse of the range of perspectives and insights on socially engaged Buddhism, a Buddhism that is not just in meditation halls, but which pervades our everyday lives and concerns. The book contributors include the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, Shunryu Suzuki, Maha Ghosananda, Joanna Macy, Jack Kornfield, Robert Aitken, Maxine Hong Kingston, Saki Santorelli, Claude Thomas, Kenneth Kraft, Robert Thurman, Sister Chan Khong, Sulak Sivaraksa, Gary Snyder, A. T. Ariyaratne, Allan Hunt Badiner, Richard Baker, Peter Mathiessen, Sister Annabel Laity, Patricia Marx Ellsberg, Stephen Batchelor, Bill Deval, and many others. Engaged Buddhist Reader is highly recommended reading for anyone seeking to understand Buddhism. |
