“Many people suffer deeply and they do not know they suffer. They try to cover up the suffering by being busy. Many people get sick today because they get alienated from Mother Earth.
The practice of mindfulness helps us to touch Mother Earth inside of the body and this practice can help heal people. So the healing of the people should go together with the healing of the Earth and this is the insight and it is possible for anyone to practice." - Thich Nhat Hanh

"We have constructed a system we can't control. It imposes itself on us, and we become its slaves and victims. We have created a society in which the rich become richer and the poor become poorer, and in which we are so caught up in our own immediate problems that we cannot afford to be aware of what is going on with the rest of the human family or our planet Earth. In my mind I see a group of chickens in a cage disputing over a few seeds of grain, unaware that in a few hours they will all be killed." - Thich Nhat Hanh

When the Buddha was asked to describe his experience of awakening he said, “What I have awoken to is deep, quiet and excellent. But,” he continues, “People love their place. It’s hard for people who love, delight and revel in the fixed views and places of absolute certainty, to see interdependence.” https://michaelstoneteaching.com/remaining-human-a-buddhist-perspective-on-occupy-wall-street/

> How are ordinary Americans pledged to Buddhist ethical and spiritual ideals, to respond to the array of interwoven crises we’re likely to face in the years ahead? How can we deal with this bizarre downward dip in the American political experience in ways that best embody the values we cherish, the qualities we discern in the exalted figure of the #bodhisattva?

"Project 2025 is not a scattershot effort. Though some Trump appointees lack experience and familiarity with bureaucracies, #Project2025 distinguishes between executive orders, agency regulations, policy guidance, personnel reorganization, and congressional action—fueled by insider knowledge. It is a clear blueprint to dismantle or repurpose federal agencies and alter their priorities..." https://nonprofitquarterly.org/how-states-can-link-up-to-support-human-rights/ #Nonprofits #NGO
