February 2017 SIT-A-LONG with JUNDO: Sit Down & Speak Up

How does our Zen Practice blend with taking a stand? Do we stay "beyond the fray" or speak out for what is right? I have been wrestling with this lately, like many folks. I have advocated leaving "politics" outside the door of our Treeleaf Sangha. In principle. I still believe so, and that we should speak civilly and gently to each other in the Sangha, agreeing to disagree, leaving most political debate outside. Further reading and discussion for this talk are available on the Treeleaf forum: SIT-A-LONG with JUNDO: Sit Down & Speak Up »
