Recorded on March 8, 2025 at Boundless Mind Temple in Brooklyn, NY. "Can we picture it? 100 years from now, 200 years from now (...) that 'operational worldview of interdependent thriving[1]' becomes the norm...becomes the ground that everybody stands on. AND—I would say—that to get there, we have to include impermanence and not be afraid of it...and not be afraid of things changing, not be afraid of things shifting and becoming unfamiliar. Right down to the stuff that we depend on and gives us comfort." [1] From Norma Wong, When No Thing Works: A Zen and Indigenous Perspective on Resilience, Shared Purpose, and Leadership in the Timeplace of Collapse.

This is our practice, the practice of love, the practice of intimacy. That’s why we offer a relationship with a teacher, and we offer sangha, so we can work this way with each other.
For me, over the past three weeks, the request and the challenge has been how to touch that quality [of stillness, that is our true nature], for ourselves and for others, now that we are all apart.

In Ancient Buddhist cosmology we say that the whole world is created, maintained and sustained by our collective karma. So, we literally are constantly living in a karmic stream of influences. Every moment is a chance for us to either act out our karma or work with our karma in a particular way, from a practice perspective, in which it causes no more harm and it becomes a force for healing in the world.
