Diane Wilde \n\n“There is a widespread attitude among Buddhists\, especially Western Buddhists\, that politics is an arena to be avoided as if it were a toxic pit. It’s seen as a detour from our spiritual quest\, a distraction and an entanglement\, a falling away from our aspirations for purity\, enlightenment\, awakening\, and liberation. But in the face of today’s multiple crises\, we can’t turn away.” \n– Bhikkhu Bodhi \n\nWith Bhikkhu Bodhi’s admonition in mind\, we will discuss the timeless teachings of the Buddha in regards to the outcome of the mid-term election… whatever those results might be. \nBring your concerns\, your hopes and intentions for what comes next. \nSacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support\, service and participation in events. With our practice of dana\, we support our Sangha.
