Why read it?

1 author picked Radical Dharma as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I was profoundly impacted by this book because it boldly confronts the uncomfortable truths about racism, privilege, and spiritual practice. This book pushed me to examine how these issues affect my own path and the collective awakening. I love how it intertwines the Black prophetic tradition with Buddhist teachings, creating a powerful call for radical honesty and inclusiveness.

From Caverly's list on inner and outer peace.
