Synopsis:
The latest provocative book from the author of Hardcore Zen and Sit Down and Shut Up.
With his love of pop culture and plainspoken Buddhist philosophy, Zen writer Brad Warner explores an A to Z of sexual topics - from dating to masturbation, gender identity to pornography. In addition to approaching sexuality from a Buddhist perspective, he looks at Buddhism - emptiness, compassion, karma - from a sexual vantage point. Throughout, he stares down the tough questions: Can prostitution be right livelihood? Can a good spiritual master also be really, really bad? And ultimately, what's love got to do with it? Though he's no puritan when it comes to adventuresome sex, Warner offers a conscious approach to sexual ethics and intimacy fit for all appetites. Since Buddhism is not just the province of sequestered spiritual seekers, this is real wisdom for our times.
Brad Warner is an American Soto Zen priest, punk bassist, filmmaker, and popular blogger.
"Bitingly funny, unapologetically honest, razor-sharp. and the most useful and healing book about sex (and Zen) you'll find. Warner's most insightful and hilarious work to date effortlessly translates our desires for sex and happiness into something nourishing, while slightly skewering the nirvana-seeking post-Nirvana generation. Sex, Sin and Zen shines right out of the gate...It's great to get wonderful storytelling from an uanbashed Zen master horndog that might actually help you heal a few sore spots along the way. Whenever anyone tells me that sex is the key to happiness, or the key to damnation, I'm handing them this book." Violet Blue, San Francisco Chronicle.
"I loved this book! It's so refreshing to read such an engaging, insightful, accessible book on sex and Buddhism, two subjects that don't seem to go together at first glance. He's successfully bridged the gap between two very different cultures, each with its own notions of right, wrong, and proper moral behaviour." Nina Hartley, author, sex activist, registered nurse and Zen kid. |
