¿Darma Punk o Hardcore Zen?

¿Qué sucede cuando unimos el camino del Buda con la rebeldía del Punk que hoy invade la contracultura global? Una fecunda y rica unión no cabe duda, y dos libros escritos por dos jóvenes estadounidenses nos narran este encuentro. Sven Davisson hace las reseñas para la interesante revista Ashé. Cuenta:

"... Though with different life experiences and with different approaches, both Dharma Punx and Hardcore Zen are the beginnings of a niche. They are two of the first voices to emerge from a growing group of Gen X punks turned Buddhists... "

"... Important for their generation, both Levine and Warner deconstructs the Dharma, questioning it every step of the way. Through this they extract the important elements while leaving aside the more potentially loaded religious aspects. In this way they begin to cast the Buddha’s truths in ways that are more accessible to their generation—born as it is from skepticism and not the idealism of the generation before—quoting Johnny Lydon, Henry Rollins and Bart Simpson along the way."

Buenas recomendaciones para explorar cómo Occidente y Oriente se están integrando cada vez más, gracias en este caso, a dos jóvenes con ganas de hacer preguntas no tan obvias.
