Concise social analysis:
"The Buddha emphasized the importance of transforming the three unwholesome
motivations: greed into generosity, ill will into loving-kindness, delusion
into wisdom. Today we also need to address their collective versions: our
economic system institutionalizes greed, militarism institutionalizes ill
will, and the media institutionalize delusion. The problem is not only that
these three poisons now operate collectively but that these institutions
have taken on a life of their own, as new types of collective ego. Any
personal awakening we might have remains incomplete until it is supplemented
by a "social awakening" that motivates us to find ways to challenge these
institutionalized causes of widespread suffering. "
