America's Racial Karma

​America’s Racial Karma: An Invitation to Heal by Dr. Larry Ward is a profound exploration of America's racial history through the lens of Buddhist philosophy and trauma healing. Drawing from his personal experiences—such as being shot at by police as a child and later having his home firebombed—Ward examines the cyclical nature of racial trauma and its deep roots in American society. He introduces the concept of "racial karma," describing how past actions and intentions manifest in present-day racial injustices. Ward offers a path forward, emphasizing self-awareness, compassionate action, and collective healing as means to transform this cycle. This work is both a personal reflection and a call to action, urging readers to engage in the healing of racial wounds within themselves and society.
