Destroying Mara Forever by John Powers
A thought-provoking collection of essays on Buddhist ethics by some of the leading thinkers in the field. The reader is provided with engaging explorations of central issues in Buddhist ethics, insightful analyses of the ways Buddhist ethical principles are being applied today in both Asian and Western countries, and groundbreaking proposals about how Buddhist perspectives might inform debates on some of the core ethical issues of the modern world, including consumerism, globalization, environmental problems, war, ethnic conflict, and inter-religious tensions. The leading figure in identifying the field of Buddhist ethics and articulating some of its core issues is Professor Damien Keown of the University of London. This book brings together a group of eminent scholars who have all been influenced by Keown's work and who are also friends and close colleagues. The result is a wonderful volume for those who are struggling with practical issues of ethical concern. This will be a valuable resource in the study of ethics for years to come.John Powers is a Senior Lecturer at the Australian National University's Faculty of Asian Studies. He has written nine books and over fifty articles, including Wisdom of Buddha (Dharma Publications). He has lived and studied extensively in South Asia with Tibetan Buddhist instructors, and is an expert in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism.
