In the face of systemic racism and state-sanctioned violence, how can we metabolize our anger into a force for liberation?

White supremacy in the United States has long necessitated that Black rage be suppressed, repressed, or denied, often as a means of survival, a literal matter of life and death. In Love and Rage, Lama Rod Owens, coauthor of Radical Dharma, shows how this unmetabolized anger--and the grief, hurt, and transhistorical trauma beneath it--needs to be explored, respected, and fully embodied to heal from heartbreak and walk the path of liberation. This is not a book about bypassing anger to focus on happiness, or a road map for using spirituality to transform the nature of rage into something else. Instead, it is one that offers a potent vision of anger that acknowledges and honors its power as a vehicle for radical social change and enduring spiritual transformation.

Love and Rage weaves the inimitable wisdom and lived experience of Lama Rod Owens with Buddhist philosophy, practical meditation exercises, mindfulness, tantra, pranayama, ancestor practices, energy work, and classical yoga. The result is a book that serves as both a balm and a blueprint for those seeking justice who can feel overwhelmed with anger--and yet who refuse to relent. It is a necessary text for these times.

Thank you, Lama Rod, for writing this book for me. For us! It was more than what I needed it was required for me to move through the tenderness of my broken heart!

Good pain medicine

This is a very healing scripture of Hope & restoration. I enjoyed the vulnerability & the lessons offered here so much. I want to listen to the last chapter of this book on repeat on hard days. So many thanks to the author and all contributions that led to this accumulation of wisdom & pouring out of love for others

Wow! yes! black voices in Buddhism!

Just what the world needs. keep going! Wonderful! So shocked I haven't been introduced to this teacher before.

hard listen

good information but it's really hard to listen to. the author is talking extremely racist while saying that he's black so he's trying to get past being passed about racism.
