  1. Accepting the Unacceptable

    Ajahn Canda discusses how to choose where to place our energy in a world full of urgent needs and act with purpose without being consumed by overwhelm. This is not a call to be endlessly resilient, but an invitation to be human: to move between engagement and rest, clarity and confusion, hope and grief ~ while continuing to choose a path of compassionate, courageous action

  7. “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

  8. "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

  9. "If there is Right Mindfulness, there must be Wrong Mindfulness. Wrong Mindfulness is where mindfulness is separate from the rest of the Eight-Fold Path. Where mindfulness is separate from Right Action or Right Livelihood." plumvillage.app/what-is-mcmind #Dharma #Interbeing #Mindfulness #Meditation #PlumVillage #BuddhaGang #EngagedBuddhism #RecoveryDharma #SanghaInTheStreets @dharma @engagedbuddhism @bodhisattvaway @buddhagang @recoverydharma @plumvillage

  10. 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.” michaelstoneteaching.com/remai

  11. In times of social stress or authoritarian momentum, Tonglen intervenes before ideology, at the level of felt experience.

    It trains you to:

    - feel fear without becoming cruel

    - feel anger without dehumanizing

    - feel grief without collapsing

    - feel vulnerability without shutting down

    This is why tonglen is not passive.

    It is anti-brutalization training.

    It prevents you from becoming what you oppose.

    > The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another.

  16. > The violence of the system is much more destructive, much more harmful, although it is well hidden. We call it institutional violence. By calling ourselves nonviolent we are against all violence, but we are first against institutional violence. --Thich Nhat Hanh

  17. Meditations at the ringed fence around G20 Toronto

    > If we value the interdependence of all life, and if we see that our body is dependent on the health of our rivers and ecosystems, then we must recognize that to be silent and indifferent is to be complicit with corporate violence.
