From Dr. Tho Ha Vinh: "Sending compassion and support to my many American friends who are grieving. Please don’t lose hope—these challenges only underscore how crucial every step toward a sustainable, compassionate, just, and inclusive world is now, more than ever."
We are grounded in knowing that this is dhukka. We are fortunate that we have a path. Eightfold it is. I believe it’s really important for us to practice the Brahma Viharas now more than ever. Then, we are filled with wisdom, and compassion. My 3 year old granddaughter, my daughter, and I were in the plaza last night marching with our fellow activists. We took one step at a time and lifted our voices. Breathing in I calm my body, breathing out I smile. I feel this is a terrible time, and yet out of these times come great growth. We’ve weathered this before. Take courage, we are the beloved community.
