Dharma Sunday (12/15) – Love in the Midst of Dominance (Online)
Live Online!
10:00 am – 12:00 pm ET
An undefeated heart is rooted in courage and does not turn away when it is faced with injustice and violence. It allows the felt sense of anger and rage to be known, and decides to use it as a catalyst towards skillful action and change. It allows us, unapologetically, to center compassion, loving kindness, joy and equanimity in a world that is broken and bruised, and to turn toward it—knowing that we are protected.
bell hooks wrote that the “assumption about love is that love means we will not be challenged or changed. No doubt this is why people who read writings about racism, sexism, homophobia, religion, etc. that challenges their set assumptions tend to see that work as harsh rather than loving.”
In this particular flavor of global divisiveness, we are given the opportunity to not succumb to hatred and ill – will. Instead we can turn towards it to build up our resiliency and resistance to be with our own discomfort; to recognize our own pain, connecting with our own vulnerability. And in turn, being able to recognize and feel that in others.
