Robert Sachs shares Buddhist wisdom on what it takes to create a love that is deep and lasting.

Robert Sachs interviewed nine of today's leading Buddhist teachers and thinkers on the issues that we hear about so often in the news; terrorism, war, global warming, health pandemics, and ethics in medicine. What they revealed was both timeless and timely wisdom to help us cope and transcend our fears and concerns so that we can live peacefully, yet act effectively to better the world around us.

Author Robert Sachs tells us that the Buddha is not some distant figure. Rather, the Buddha is one hundred percent engaged; body, speech, and mind all instruments of love and compassion twenty-four seven. Buddhism is informed, intelligent, compassionate, and skillfully engaged activism. Its goal is peace, but it does not shy away from confrontation and conflict. Furthermore, the word "Buddha itself is not as much a name as it is a state of mind. It means to be and all of the teachings of the Buddha are intended to do just that; to wake us up. Once awakened, we become Buddhas. Becoming Buddha was first released in 2006 under the title, The Buddha at War.

With its success, Robert was asked by editor-in-chief, Michael Mann of Watkins and Duncan Baird if he would interview Buddhist masters who followed the principles he outlines in The Buddha at War and ask them to comment on some of todays most challenging issues. Inspired by the depth and directness of such teachers as Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche, Robert Thurman, and Geshe Michael Roach, Robert wanted to expound and expand on some of the previous ideas he shared in The Buddha at War as well as address larger collective issues on how we can build a more awakened society.

With candor, whit, and a willingness to not shy away from controversial perspectives about education, ecology, population, politics, religion, even the way Buddhism is practiced in the west, Becoming Buddha makes it clear that we can no longer stay smug, indifferent, or asleep at the wheel of our destiny. We are all Buddhas in training and if we align ourselves with the intention to wake up, the challenges we face with sickness, poverty, terrorism, wars, and economic and ecological uncertainty can all be met with the wisdom and compassion that are needed in these times. Be prepared to read a book that is direct, thought provoking, and designed to arouse that very wisdom and compassion needed to change our world.

"We live in a melting pot world where competing worldviews and paradigms contribute to, but are also the victim of collapsing social and political infrastructures. Add to this undeniable climate change and the result is global turbulence manifesting as environmental degradation, wars, terrorism, growing fundamentalisms, pandemics, and increasing levels of despair and anxiety. Yet, there is also emerging what could best be described as a growing tribe of conscious, engaged individuals united in recognition of the interdependency of all sentient life and a vision of sustainability rooted in eco-sensitivity. These people, whether they are consciously united or not, are the foundation of and beacons for an ecology of oneness. Their vision and call may not cause a massive transformation of the whole of humanity. But, in troubled times, individuals and groups who hold such a vision act as “pockets of light,” promoting mindfulness, supporting the development of our inherent moral compass, and remind us to engage and cooperate with worlds both visible and invisible in which we are cohabitants. An ecology of oneness beckons a spiritual transformation of global magnitude. Although author Robert Sachs practices Tibetan Buddhism, his studies under and times spent with renowned masters from all faiths and traditions makes The Ecology of Oneness a life guide for all. He empowers us to be a light, support, and friend to every being we come into contact with. If we embrace and embody such a vision, we awaken in a free world beyond religious, racial, or social differences and experience the oneness that is at once the truth and our salvation."
