radicaldharma Reviews & Testimonials

"As a practicing Zen Buddhist seeking to grow in my intercultural knowledge as well as my racial justice activism, I love how Rev. angel Kyodo Williams brings the subject of racial injustice right into the heart of Buddhist teaching—something that seems all too uncommon as of yet."

"Love angel's teachings and love that there's a space to be with truth beyond the typical divides among spiritual folks."

"I am really not sure right now, I am hoping there is a space to be not sure in"

"Turning towards my habits of engaging in oppressive thoughts and behaviors so I can continue to learn and grow- not spiritual bypassing-using social liberation as the path of Dharma."

"Bringing spiritural practices to collective liberation"

"recognizing we are all one. none of us is free until all of us are free."

"Multiple opportunities to be in a virtual healing space with others in the liberated Life Network."

"Inclusion, based in the body"

"i have yet to encounter such an inclusive movement and practice of true love, not lip service. i understood The Collective different after experiencing and reading this work. And my understanding of othering within and without shifted fundamentally. Also the RD folx are dope and Brooklyn. It's true."

"The voices I need to hear in this time of uncertainty."

"it's way forward with integrity. Building a house that is made to last for generations to come. I value the insight and the community of people who together are stronger."

"A wish/intention to fully open to and be vulnerable with those who are similarly committed to waking up to our most wholehearted and authentic selves."

"Bridging the Dharma with social justice"

"I loved the book and am yearning to be in community with other folks who have read the book and are doing the work. I have been participating in Laura Brewer's Holding Whiteness Responsibly co-horts, and that's how I learned about this book and space."

"I am grateful for the grounding, love, and care of community, especially during this difficult time."

"Inspiration and practical tools for wellbeing, to sustain political activism."

"community"

"I am pretty much attracted to all things radical when it comes to spirituality, selfcare etc. It puts engaging with spirit and your practice as an active pursuit. I appreciate that."

"Clarity, consciousness, compassion"

"Collective liberation from systems of oppression and inner spiritual liberation are deeply connected, and Rev. angel is the clearest spiritual teacher I know who speaks to this truth."

"A clear-eyed look at how the internal and external work together."

"Radical Dharma reminds me of a quote from Ciderhouse Rules "Shit or get off the pot, Dr. Larch". I am at a point in my journey where justice needs to be a verb, not just a good idea."

"I feel most connected to contemplative practice that centers the lived reality of those of us who are often perceived as existing on the margins. I resisted Buddhism and meditation practice before I was able to find these spaces that acknowledged structural oppression and marginalized identities as part of practice, not outside of it."

"It speaks the truth and wisdom that underlies all the work that lies ahead for those who want to help create a more just and compassionate world."

"I love the Radical Dharma approach to integrated practice + activism."
