Mahakaruna - compassion, spirituality, politics: September 2006

Mahakaruna - compassion, spirituality, politics. Wednesday, September 13, 2006. The (he)art of understanding. Sitting in a beige little room at Wadham College, Oxford, reading a new book on methodology in the social sciences I wonder what I am doing in academia. Methodology. God, what a dry, soulless word, and God, how many things seem to have been written on it that are all about knowledge and have nothing to do with insight or understanding. Posted by H. @ 2:30 PM.

Mahakaruna - compassion, spirituality, politics. Monday, July 14, 2008. To all those who devote their energy to turning the tide in the way our political institutions function, and I do believe I will move back into that field again at some point. But right now, it is time to look inwards, to steady my gaze and my understanding of mind. And I am so grateful for this opportunity. For all those who have worked to create the growing understanding of the importance of contemplative mind. Oh, and here I am.

Mahakaruna - compassion, spirituality, politics. Tuesday, November 14, 2006. What do you mean, doing something? A late night conversation with my lovely non-violent (fairly Gandhian) peace activist flatmate has me jotting down the following notes:. Posted by H. @ 3:20 PM. My work I: Peace and Development Studies. My work II: Green Think-Tank Cogito. GREAT inspiration: Joanna Macy. Community of Mindful Living. My love, my choir: Ymna. On leaving retreat and the search for justice. Dispersion - all at once.

Mahakaruna - compassion, spirituality, politics. Sunday, September 21, 2008. I asked a dharma teacher about this dilemma, and he said: First thing is this: don’t think that you are not stable enough. How could he say that, I thought, he doesn’t even know me! Now others are beginning to take on more sangha responsibilities, which is very nice! So for those of you who are on your own, fresh out of retreat and longing for a sangha where you live know that you can do it! Posted by H. @ 8:23 AM.

Mahakaruna - compassion, spirituality, politics. Thursday, August 07, 2008. On leaving retreat and the search for justice. I have a gift for you", said brother Phap Ban on the last day of summer retreat in Plum Village. "Two more days: your day of travelling home, and your first day at home.

Mahakaruna - compassion, spirituality, politics. Wednesday, June 28, 2006. Oh, and here I am. Except I have less hair these days than in these photos. Posted by H. @ 2:13 PM. Here is what happens when someone seriously disagrees with me and my views, and expresses their opinion on my work in a denigrating way:. What do I know about this, really? As may be obvious from the detail in this decription, I just went through all that a couple of minutes ago. The think-tank. Which deal with openness and non-atta...
