Stephen this is stunning - you are amazing - and it’s an important point that we can fight for what we believe in with more resilience and fierceness if we meditate. So proud of you and in awe - bravo!
Great article! There are some excellent engaged Buddhists here on Substack that you may want to consider adding to the list. i’m typing this on my phone and can’t seem to tag their names, but I’ll come back later and edit.
Thank you Stephen… this is a very helpful piece … I am glad to know you and welcome you to MET and look forward to deepening practice wisdom and strength in covenant with you.
So much in here! Though you don't mention it explicitly, I can't help but suggest that you might add www.uua.org to your list of links, so that people in places (often less-urban places) might find a Unitarian Universalist congregation where they could also connect around this larger discussion of community, meditation & activism. And for those for whom there is no "brick-and-mortar" congregation, there is always the Church of the Larger Fellowship (at questformeaning.org). Thanks so much for all your synthesis & reflection & encouragement!
