Todays globalized society faces some of humanitys most unprecedented social and environmental challenges. Presenting inspiring and effective approaches to a range of these challenges, the timely volume before you draws upon individual cases of exemplary leadership from the worlds Dharma traditionsHinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, and Buddhism. The volume's authors refer to such exemplary leaders as beacons of Dharma, highlighting the ways in which each figure, through their inspirational life work, provide us with illuminating perspectives as we continue to confront cases of grave injustice and needless suffering in the world.

Taking on difficult contemporary issues such as climate change, racial and gender inequality, industrial agriculture and animal rights, fair access to healthcare and education, and other such pressing concerns, Beacons of Dharma offers a promising and much needed contribution to our global conversations. Seeking to help alleviate and remedy such social and environmental issues, each of the chapters in the volume invites contemplation, inspires action, and offers a freshly invigorating source of hope.

Recenzijas

Beacons of Dharma: Spiritual Exemplars of the Modern Age is more than just a well-researched work of scholasticism -- it also blossoms with a practitioner-style devotion that invokes its reader to touch their own indefatigable potential to make a lasting impression on the world for the greater good of all. * TARKA * Beacons of Dharma highlights important figures who have changed the course of religious history. Women figure prominently in this volume, both as contributors and as leaders being recognized for their good works, starting with Chinese Buddhist nuns in the 4th century right up to present-day teachers Acharya Chandanaji and Ammachi. Judith Simmer-Brown highlights Pema Chodron's response to contemporary issues posed by Black Lives Matter and Nikky-Guninder Singh brings to our attention the important interfaith work of Bhai Vir Singh (1872-1957), a strong voice in protest of all colonialist hegemonies. Every chapter brings new insight.... this is a treasure box to be shared with all students of religion! -- Christopher Key Chapple, Loyola Marymount University
