Abstract
Chapter 7 illuminates how love and liberation are at the heart of Buddhism and the Black Radical Tradition. While there are marked differences within these traditions, there are identifiable confluences in these traditions’ emphases on political, psychological, and spiritual liberation. Buddhism, as it has developed in the West, emphasizes clear seeing and skillfully relating to the conditions of suffering as core aspects of psychological liberation. Black Radicalism uplifts the safety, protection, and wellness of Black communities. This chapter argues that in practicing the dharma, Black Buddhists fulfill the Black Radical quest for psychological liberation by practicing teachings that foster clearly seeing the false constructs of white supremacy, offering skillful responses to suffering, and cultivating love for Blackness and Black communities.
