2012-08-29 Self and Not-Self VII-Self and Not-Self in the context of Global Crisis. 69:46
Donald Rothberg
With the background of the last weeks exploration of our individual practice to see self and open increasingly to not-self, we connect that practice with our responses to global crisis, particularly global climate disruption. We see its roots in part in individualist models of self, and point to the importance of dharma practice in our responses to crisis.
