The Left Wing & The Right Wing Belong to the Same Bird (Inclusion)

Our minds tend to see the world as dualistic. Life – personal, relationship, financial, political choices – seems to be limited to two dimensional competing alternatives, an either/or proposition.

Unless we pause and step back from the drama of the moment, we lose touch with the nuance, beauty, and multi-dimensional nature of life, and life choices. We fail to see and experience the underlying reality that the world operates on a wide continuum of related and inter-dependent events, experiences, and choices.

We lose access to the most important, skillful, and healing life option – collaborating with life as it is, and collaborating with others as they are.

This Thursday evening will explore this field of experiences through common situations in meditation and everyday living.

The subject matter of this evening will be appropriate for all stages of practice. You can attend in person or by ZOOM. Dennis will be presenting in person and encourages you to be there in person as well.

Seclusion and Engagement: models of the dharma path
The monastic path of meditation and seclusion has been the primary image of awakened life as the west has encountered the Dharma. We will talk about how emerging Buddhist forms may take on more elements of engagement and the brahma viharas than of the monastic style of seclusion and renunciation.
