thezensite: Public Talk by Thich Nhat Hanh at the Riverside Church, New York

thezensite: Public Talk by Thich Nhat Hanh at the Riverside Church, New York

 I have annotations on diigo for this.

W: This talk is a radically different way to look at the 'us-them'...the other. This offers the possibility of true 'reconciliation'. It's the Middle Way.  This moment is the historical inflection point of the Ukraine/Russia conflic.t.

D: some of the Ukrainian people were actually helping the Russian soldiers. allowing soldiers to call home, giving them food, clothing. individuals pushing back on Russain tanks w/ their bare hands...a higher belief..

R: attending a Russian dance troupe at Pablo Center.  dancers fielded from all over.... self-funded statement put out .... audience danced and cheered the performance even in the midst of the tragedy in Eastern Europe.

Warren,

M: how to discourage the seeds of anger, of suffering, of fear.... Being the calm person in the boat. " I see you child"...recognizing and embracing the fear, the anger.

What seeds am I watering? Stop Be Look See and find out! moment to moment!
