The Spiritual Remainder
The Varied Trajectories of Engaged Buddhism
This book discussion reads three works in contemporary Buddhist social ethics alongside one another: Ogyen Trinley Dorje’s Interconnected , David Loy’s Ecodharma, and Larry Ward’s America’s Racial Karma .

The rapid development of engaged Buddhism constitutes a …

In Buddhist philosophy, karma is a complex topic that is central to Buddhist moral psychology and soteriology.

Buddhist Modernism Underway in Bhutan
This article synthesizes and clarifies the significance of the last half-century's developments in Bhutan's politics within the frame of Buddhist political thought. During this time, Bhutan has held a curious position in the international community, both celebrated as a Buddhist Shangri-La defending its culture in the face of globalized modernity, and at times, criticized for defending its heritage too conservatively at the expense of ethnic mino…
