#RadicalDharma review: A lot of individuals & organizations seem to treat #dharma practice as something that happens either on an individual or a cosmic level, but never in-between where "politics" happens. Like politics is tawdry & beneath us all.
But for many people, "politics" is conflict resolution & community care writ large. It's a major part of how people interconnect, so I'm glad there are #Buddhist teachers tying #intersectionality to dharmic lessons about interdependence. 👍👍👍👍👍
@eldang Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love, and Liberation! It's a book I just finished! I've been pasting in good bits to give people a general feel for what's in there. If you check #RadicalDharma, I'm pretty sure I used it at least once in each of my reading session threads.
I requested my library pick up the ebook ages ago and it finally dropped onto my shelf last week. 🙌
@Cobalt Thank you! I've been seeing bits and pieces about it from you, and only just realised it was probably a book or article you'd been talking about and not something like a workshop that had already happened.
@eldang Oh! Yeah, no unfortunately I haven't managed to be in physical proximity to any of these teachers. They do apparently have a meditation app that specifically has, like, guided stuff for ppl to do working through the stuff privilege and oppression do to folks emotionally and spiritually.
I will probably subscribe to that now that I have a better grip on where they're coming from bc there's an online community attached through the app and 😍
@Cobalt This is intriguing. What are you responding to - is there a book or a website or something I could go to to read more?
