Dear Friends,
At
a recent meeting at Deer Park Brother Phap Ho suggested the Sangha
address how it can serve the community, in addition to the sangha and
its members. I’d like for us to address how we respond to the greatest
need of our time, the need for a transformation in how humankind relates
to the earth. How do we as individuals and as a sangha come together
around the need to heal the human earth community? We’re at a critical
juncture in the evolution of the earth. Science makes it clear that what
we do over the next few years will determine the quality of life on
earth for the next 10 million years, and perhaps forever. How do we
contribute as best we can to a spiritual transformation of ourselves and
humanity, and practical transformations of human activity, such that a
thriving, just and beautiful planet is here for all species for all
time?
This will be our theme for this week's Sangha.
I look forward to our transformation together.
Smiling,
Keith
Universal Emptiness of the Heart
