Radical Openness in Volatile Times - Buddhistdoor Global
In a time of great upheaval, a key quality of the Dharma is its ability to give us support and stability—if we are open to it.

This is a good time to remember that #anarchism and #mutualaid is baked into #Buddhism.

A beautifully brutally honest post about what it's like to be on the frontlines of #Chicago right now, by a seasoned and skillful organizer.
"There just isn’t enough time. There’s only what we manage to make of it—what we build, what we protect, what we remember to carry to the car. The gas mask. The snacks. The question we forgot to ask. The name of the person taken." My latest.
