Pressestimmen
“This honest, page-turning confession is also a measure of the adaptability and usefulness of the Asian tradition of Buddhism for the young and restless of contemporary America.” (Publishers Weekly )
“Fierce and disarming in its honesty, raw and true in its expression...This is not your average spiritual autobiography!” (Norman Fischer, Zen priest and poet, and founder of the Everyday Zen Foundation )
“An entry point for many others into a potentially life-saving practice...an empathic and moving offering.” (Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Full Catastrophe Living and Wherever You Go, There You Are )
“Honesty and wildness that become transformed and inspiring.” (Jack Kornfield, author of A Path With Heart )
“This book is a great success story that shows that violence, negativity and self destruction doesn’t accomplish anything.” (Mike Ness, lead singer of Social Distortion )
“Noah takes us through his own personal genocide in this honest and at times unbearably painful account of his journey.” (Sothira, lead singer of Crucifix/Proudflesh )
“Levine has a gift for plunging readers into the belly of his experience.” (Tricycle magazine )

Kurzbeschreibung
Fueled by the music of revolution, anger, fear, and despair, we dyed our hair or shaved our heads ... Eating acid like it was candy and chasing speed with cheap vodka, smoking truckloads of weed, all in a vain attempt to get numb and stay numb.
This is the story of a young man and a generation of angry youths who rebelled against their parents and the unfulfilled promise of the sixties. As with many self-destructive kids, Noah Levine's search for meaning led him first to punk rock, drugs, drinking, and dissatisfaction. But the search didn't end there. Having clearly seen the uselessness of drugs and violence, Noah looked for positive ways to channel his rebellion against what he saw as the lies of society. Fueled by his anger at so much injustice and suffering, Levine now uses that energy and the practice of Buddhism to awaken his natural wisdom and compassion.
While Levine comes to embrace the same spiritual tradition as his father, bestselling author Stephen Levine, he finds his most authentic expression in connecting the seemingly opposed worlds of punk and Buddhism. As Noah Levine delved deeper into Buddhism, he chose not to reject the punk scene, instead integrating the two worlds as a catalyst for transformation. Ultimately, this is an inspiring story about maturing, and how a hostile and lost generation is finally finding its footing. This provocative report takes us deep inside the punk scene and moves from anger, rebellion, and self-destruction, to health, service to others, and genuine spiritual growth.

Format:Taschenbuch
In dem Buch Dharma Punx geht es um das Leben eines vom Schicksal gebeutelten jungen Menschens mit starker Affinität zum Punkrock und der Hardcore Szene Nordamerikas. Noah findet in einer Lebenskrise in der Jugendarrestanstalt zur Meditation und wird in seinem weiteren spirituellem Bbemühen auch mit Unterstützung seines Vaters, einem spirituellem Autor selbst Meditationslehrer an Jugendarrestanstalten und versucht, jungen Menschen innere Ruhe und Orientierung zu geben. Im Verlauf seines weiteren Lebens berichtet er von persönlichen Herausforderungen auf dem Weg zur Erleuchtung, von der "One year to live" Praxis und seinen Reisen nach Asien und v.a. Indien und Tibet.Es stellt sich heraus, daß die Verbindung des aggresiven Punk Rock und buddhistischer Spiritualität kein Widerspruch ist, sondern eine Weiterentwicklung eines modernen, persönlichen, gesellschaftskritischen, spirituellen Daseinsvollzug. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Echoes of the Heart
15. Dezember 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
I really enjoyed this book. It's simply told, and has a measure of honesty to it that I don't find in more polished works. This is Noah's story, with all his confusion, anger, puzzlement, flaws and discoveries shared with us. Having grown up hippy-trippy on California's Central Coast, I heard echoes of my own experiences in thinking everybody was really too precious for words when they talked about Zen and buddhism, or mantras or tantras or whatever. I really appreciated the author's willingness to to share his own dichotomies with us-in one scene he describes threatening a hostel owner with a wooden stick, while he was on a journey searching for inner peace. I heard other echoes of my own experience as well: the desire to have peace and tranquility to think on things, yet instead getting angry and restless once the opportunity is at hand, the need to feel things intensely and yet the wish to be quietly placid, or even the desire to have no desire. I read this almost like reading somebody's REAL journal, not some edited and cleaned up literary masterpiece. The book helped me see that the path toward enlightenment starts wherever you are-for Noah it was a padded cell and taking his father's advice to do some breathing exercises-just to get through it all, just to survive.
A word on some of the other reviews: I don't think it's relevant who Noah's father was-I have several friends who have been on similar trips to monasteries, seen the Dalai Lama, etc. who have no connections, and the author was very up-front with his interactions with his father-good and bad. He even talks about some of the negative things he experienced when people disliked his father's writings.
In the end, this is Noah's story, but I also found echoes of my own experiences. I found it insightful, honest, and pure.

Memoir, not a textbook
3. Februar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
Unlike some, I read the whole book before writing my review. The story resonated with me, but I'm the audience. I'm about the same age as the author, like a lot of the same music, and have my own experiences with using, recovery, and spiritual seeking. I don't know how the book would read to you. I'm not you, you know?
But I didn't expect a textbook on Buddhism. For that I'd probably get a, I don't know, textbook on Buddhism. Instead I got a story from a contemporary of mine who told his story with honesty, humanity, and heart. It gave me some f-ing hope and that's something for which I'm always grateful. Thanks fellow trudger along the path of happy destiny. Pax.

Good, but could have done without the self-righteousness
20. März 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
I really really liked this book when I first read it. I finished it in about 3 days, with a full work and school load. In retrospect I'm not so sure I'd be as into it now as i was when I first read it, and here's why.
I'm a twenty-something who grew up loving punk, and everything related. Noah's story resonated strongly with me, the shows, the drugs/alc/whatever else, the recovery, and the spiritual pilgrimage. What didn't resonate with me and, quite frankly kind of irked me, was his astounding air of self-righteousness. It's kind of hard for me to be taken aback by this usually, having been involved in the hardcore scene for quite a while, but it's pretty bad. It's almost like those kids who have claimed edge fairly recently and parade it around like it's something that everyone should care about. In my opinion now, months after reading this and having had some time to reflect on it this book is essentially a memoir of growing up in the Santa Cruz punk scene peppered with Buddhism and spirituality.
I learned next to nothing about Buddhism from this book. There were very good meditation instructions in the back of the book, but these were pretty obviously meant for people who have never done it before (which is not a problem, I'm just saying). Essentially this book is geared for people who are in recovery who can stand a little self-righteousness, a little bit of a tough guy attitude, tons of spelling/grammatical errors (warning all you spelling/grammar nazis), or anyone who wants to read a punk memoir lightly flavored with spiritual themes. I'm not going to tell anyone that Brad Warner's books are better, or to go read such-and-such book because it's better. For what it's worth, this book is good, but there are most definitely better books on punk and Buddhism out there.
