Black Lives Matter
Ecodharma and racial injustice:
“If we don’t tend to the particulars, we don’t tend the whole.” ~ Roshi Sarah
Our big blue Earth. It holds each of us, and all of us together, as one seamless body. What about us holding it and holding each other? And how does that relate to our individual impermanence, the earth’s impermanence, and the racial injustice which has come to the forefront within the climate crisis setting? Perhaps it is better said that the climate crisis is occurring within the Black Lives Matter setting.
How can we tend to the earth’s plants, waters, and soils without also tending to the earth’s people? This time, as our Zen teachers say, is the “just this” time.
“This is the great silence turning into the pure land.” ~James Ford
“If the people part is out of whack, it affects the whole. We cannot restore and care for the ecosystem without restoring its people.” ~ Sarah
Join us Tuesday June 16, 6:30-8:30pm via *Zoom. Everyone is welcome.
We will explore how ecodharma is Black Lives Matter. How there really is not two and not one.
Additionally our sangha companions Mary Montoya and David Cockrell will speak about Paris to Pittsburg and aspects of the Green New Deal.
Now be with beautiful Keedron Bryant singing his song “I just wanna live”
