Critics Review
This book will have a great appeal to readers interested in Buddhism or the study of ethics.
“Readers will welcome this collection of insightful essays on the ways in which Buddhist perspectives inform some of the ethical issues facing the modern world… . An engrossing and very topical read.”–Mandala Magazine, Editor’s Choice “I found myself personally engaged with the questions raised by these great scholars, and I am grateful to have had such rich food for thought… . Careful and critical examination of the multiple sides of an issue is consistent throughout this collection… . The essays collected in Destroying Mara Forever do not shy away from questioning the relevance of foundational doctrine to answer today’s greatest ethical dilemmas and do so in pointed and respectful debate that leads one to continue that questioning and apply it to other issues.”–Feminist Review
