Battling the Buddha of Love is a work of advocacy anthropology that explores the controversial plans and practices of the Maitreya Project, a transnational Buddhist organization, as it sought to build the "world's tallest statue" as a multi-million-dollar "gift" to India. Hoping to forcibly acquire 750 acres of occupied land for the statue park in the Kushinagar area of Uttar Pradesh, the Buddhist statue planners ran into obstacle after obstacle, including a full-scale grassroots resistance movement of Indian farmers working to "Save the Land."
Falcone sheds light on the aspirations, values, and practices of both the Buddhists who worked to construct the statue, as well as the Indian farmer-activists who tirelessly protested against the Maitreya Project. Because the majority of the supporters of the Maitreya Project statue are converts to Tibetan Buddhism, individuals Falcone terms "non-heritage" practitioners, she focuses on the spectacular collision of cultural values between small agriculturalists in rural India and transnational Buddhists hailing from Portland to Pretoria. She asks how could a transnational Buddhist organization committed to compassionate practice blithely create so much suffering for impoverished rural Indians.
Falcone depicts the cultural logics at work on both sides of the controversy, and through her examination of these logics she reveals the divergent, competing visions of Kushinagar's potential futures. Battling the Buddha of Love traces power, faith, and hope through the axes of globalization, transnational religion, and rural grassroots activism in South Asia, showing the unintended local consequences of an international spiritual development project.

High cholesterol, Diabetes, Obesity, Cardiovascular Issues, Strokes and Osteopenia are all part of my genetic makeup. I did not know that something as simple as changing my eating lifestyle could change my predisposition to all these chronic diseases that have plagued generations in my family line.
Twenty years ago I fell into natural food cooking and found the connection between health and eating. It has become my passion that I want to share with you in this book.
"I have not broken out in hives once since I've been eating her way. I noticed a lot of the health issues I had been having before were no longer a problem. I no longer had heartburn after my meals, and I didn't have that bloated, shouldn't have eaten that, feeling either." -Anna
