12 Nov Beyond Karma: Buddhism for the Modern Age
What if Buddhism could inspire a revolutionary way to change the world? In “A Buddha Land in This World” by Lajos Brons, this idea takes center stage. Brons reimagines Buddhism as a radical, naturalist philosophy—one that rejects supernatural beliefs and boldly confronts capitalism and systemic suffering. This isn’t just about personal enlightenment; it’s a call to action for creating a better world, here and now. Drawing from 20th-century radical thinkers and blending ancient Yogācāra teachings with modern philosophy, the book challenges us to rethink morality, justice, and what it truly means to alleviate suffering. Join me as we explore the transformative vision presented in A Buddha Land in This World and uncover its potential to inspire compassionate, ethical resistance in today’s society.
