Description

Explore the complexities of modern practice in A Critique of Western Buddhism: Ruins of the Buddhist Real. In this open access work from Bloomsbury, Glenn Wallis examines how Western Buddhism often avoids the deeper consequences of its own traditions by connecting with the contemporary wellness industry. Wallis investigates how core Buddhist concepts such as vanishing, nihility, extinction, contingency, and no-self define a specific notion of the real. While Buddhism suggests that a raw, unflinching acceptance of this reality is central to human awakening, the text argues that these truths are frequently shored up against in modern practice. This book offers a deep philosophical look at the tension between ancient thought and current Western applications.
