Product Description

Making the World We WantOn Making the World We Want, Robert Thurman - one of the foremost scholars of Buddhism in the West - speaks candidly on what he believes to be a crucial turning point in human history: Buddhism's impact on the global culture today. In this passionate, incisive, and often hilarious joyride, Thurman explores mindful communities as "enlightenment factories" and how they changed the history of nations; the Buddha's philosophy of life, liberty, and the pursuit of real happiness; Buddhaland and Buddhaverse – what sacred texts saw in the future of humanity; and more.

"The Buddha founded a quiet revolution," asserts Thurman, an uprising of consciousness meant to redefine the human species. How we can take part in this inner revolution today is what you will learn on Making the World We Want.

Investigates Buddhism's enormous effect on world history & shows how listeners themselves can participate in this monumental revolution today

An ordained Buddhist monk and scholar, Thurman explains how Buddhism is now poised to revolutionize the course of humanity. In Thurman's view, mindful communities can continue to spark inner revolutions, and compassion and non-duality will lead to social action. He calls Buddha's "quiet revolution" a "total reorientation of the habits of individuals and entire societies." In this freewheeling presentation, laced with humor and presented before a live audience, Thurman rambles a bit but regains his focus when he leads meditations and takes questions from the audience, although, unfortunately, he does not repeat the questions, which the listener cannot hear. His voice--in tone, cadence and range--reminds me of Robin Williams's voice. P.B.J. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
