Ayya Santacitta: The SOS (Sound of Silence) as a Doorway into the Web of Life

(Aloka Earth Room) Short Reflection & Guided Meditation with a poem by Mark Nepo | Earthworm Practice for the Anthropocene IV | Online Wednesday-Morning

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) After some personal stories from Donald about his father, who was a veteran, and about Donald’s experiences growing up at the time of the Vietnam war and being introduced to nonviolence, we explore the three main dimensions of our practice (training in ethics, meditation, and wisdom) related to the holiday. We focus on the ethical teachings about killing and nonviolence, including the complexities of these teachings; the importance of bringing mindfulness to grief, loss, and sadness, and of grounding in kindness, compassion, and love; and the wisdom and insight teachings about seeing the roots of violence. The talk is followed by discussion.
