Facing the Future: Four Essays on the Social Relevance of Buddhism by Bhikkhu Bodhi
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 4.85 MB
Overview: Facing the Future consists of four essays on the social relevance of Buddhism: "A Buddhist Social Ethic for the New Century", "A Buddhist Approach to Economic and Social development", "The Changing Face of Buddhism", and "Sangha at the Crossroads". In Facing the Future, Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi uses the Buddha’s teaching to examine some of the confusions about social values that have engulfed us at the dawn of the new century. Though Theravada Buddhism does stress the inescapably personal nature of the ultimate goal, if we carefully examine the suttas or discourses of the Buddha, we would see that the Buddha was keenly aware of the problems human beings face in the social dimensions of their lives, and he formulated his teaching to address these problems just as much as to show the way to final liberation.
