Sinopsis

"Civil Wars" explores the complex phenomenon of nations turning against themselves, examining the root causes and devastating consequences of internal conflicts throughout history. From the American Civil War to more recent crises in Rwanda and Syria, the book analyzes how political instability, socioeconomic disparities, and ideological clashes converge to ignite these conflicts. It highlights the critical role of state failure and elite manipulation in escalating tensions, emphasizing the importance of understanding early warning signs to prevent future outbreaks of violence.

 
A key insight is that civil wars are not random, but stem from specific historical, social, and political conditions, including legacies of colonialism and Cold War proxy conflicts. The book also delves into the immense human cost, detailing displacement, famine, and psychological trauma suffered by civilian populations.

 
It progresses by introducing key concepts, presenting detailed case studies, and analyzing the role of international actors and challenges of post-conflict peacebuilding. By drawing on diverse sources and offering a multidisciplinary perspective, "Civil Wars" provides a balanced account of these complex events, offering valuable insights for policymakers, scholars, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the forces driving internal conflict across the globe.

    This is a Pariyatti audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 157, "The Bodhisattva Concept" by A.G.S. Kariyawasam found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V.
     
    Excerpt from The Bodhisattva Concept:
     
    In original Pali Buddhism, the term bodhisatta is used more or less exclusively to designate Gautama Buddha prior to his enlightenment.
     
    'The concept of bodhisattva, along with that of Buddha and of the cakravartin (world-ruler), was in vogue in India even before the appearance of Gautama Buddha. When Prince Siddhārtha, who later became Gautama Buddha, took conception in the womb of Queen Māyā, a seer predicted that Suddhodana’s future son would be either a world-ruler (cakravartin) or a Buddha. Once, answering a question by a brahmin, the Buddha himself admitted that he is neither a god nor a yakkha, but a Buddha, meaning thereby one of a succession of Buddhas (A II 38).
