Blood-Soaked Buddha/Hard Earth Pascal
By Noah Cicero
Published by Trident Press, 2017
191 pages, paperback
Marking a significant departure from Cicero's fictional and poetic works, Blood-Soaked Buddha/Hard Earth Pascal is a lucid philosophical treatise. Rather than entertain dogma, Cicero approaches a discussion of Buddhism from the refreshing perspective of the everyman, providing a profound spiritual analysis as well as a sharp critique of capitalism. There are even some pretty good ghost stories.
Praise for Blood-Soaked Buddha/Hard Earth Pascal
"Far too many books about Buddhism get bogged down in scholarly doublespeak. Others are full of far-fetched fantasies. Noah’s book isn’t like that. It’s a real book for real people." - Brad Warner, author of Hardcore Zen.
