Greetings Dear Sangha,
This Sunday, we return to our exploration of Dharma as relational practice by turning toward the wider field of systems, structures, and shared becoming.
As deep fractures in our culture come to the surface—from shutdowns and political violence to economic precarity and ecological grief—we gather to deepen our capacity to see the dominant collective mind with more clarity: both its delusions and its profound suffering. We can attend to our growing precarity amid these breakdowns—the reality violence and loss—without being defined by fear, anger, or grief. There is more to us than this.
How might we refuse that separation, that fracture, at every level? What does it mean to stay relational in a time of rupture? What ways forward become available when we learn to stay steady, individually and collectively, in the mess of it all—when we can stay together with the trouble?
Join us on Sunday as we reflect on a Dharma that doesn't retreat from the world's pain, but meets it with wisdom, ethics, and revolutionary love.
