Rev. angel Kyodo williams will lead a meditation and discussion on “Radical Dharma: Why Your Liberation Is Bound Up With Mine” for the special Weekly Dharma Gathering at the Shambhala Meditation Center in New York.
From their website:
“Please join Rev. angel Kyodo williams for a special Weekly Dharma Gathering featuring meditation and a discussion on “Radical Dharma: Why Your Liberation Is Bound Up With Mine.” There is limited seating, so please register in advance to reserve your spot.
In the face of today’s political and social unrest, is it possible to create a wise, kind, and strong human society? Her book, Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love and Liberation, has ignited a long-overdue conversation on how the legacy of racial injustice and white supremacy plays out in society and prevents our collective awakening. Rev. angel Kyodo williams will speak about how the collective process of waking up is closely related to the truth of interdependence.
In recognition of her work, Rev. angel received the first Creating Enlightened Society Award from Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, lineage holder and spiritual director of Shambhala.”
