21st Century Buddhism
My relationship with religion is ever-changing and a little volitile. But one thing I know for sure is there is a ton to be learned on the subject and important concepts to be taken away from each. The Interdependence Project is working on educating the public on issues relvant to Buddism and meditation in the 21st century. "Unfortunately, the Buddha never taught a sutra called 'How to Practice Compassion in The Age of Multinational Capitalism.' No ancient Indian meditator tried to be mindful while sending a text message. No nun in a Tibetan monastery had to learn loving-kindness while being bombarded 24/7 by ads constructed to undermine her self-esteem." If these are things you ponder about as well, you may want to check out their lecture tonight.
