Notes on the non-violence of the 15-M movement | Reflections on a Revolution ROAR

From the page: “Experience shows that violence is always placed at the center of what is happening, like a vortex that sucks and pulls everything else in. Nonviolence can be expressed in many ways, violence in only one. In the nonviolent actions, there can be many different people, while violent actions always involve a very specific group of people (male, young, etc.). We want to affirm, both in the form of our organization and in our way of being in the street, the features of our DNA: horizontality, openness, multiplicity.”

From the page: All my faith is in the practice of simply noticing where you are, seeing things as they appear, and neither clinging to nor rejecting them. I don’t know where you are going to end up and neither do you. Life’s purpose is to keep going, step by step, using the smallest increments and the easiest implements – using what’s at hand. This is the faith that sustains me because it is real, not what is yearned for, imagined, or guessed at.

The Right to Ask Questions | Tricycle

So what is the test of truth? The Buddha offers a simple formula: Test things in terms of cause and effect. Whatever is unskillful, leading to harm and ill, should be abandoned; whatever is skillful, leading to happiness and peace, should be pursued.

Jnanasukha – Home
Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal is a wisdom dakini who is believed to have attained the rainbow body of enlightenment in eighth century Tibet. Her wisdom legacy transcends time, gender, and culture. Although her human incarnation is no longer in this world, she is still with us through her life story, teachings, and emanations. Ultimately, she is recognized and known as the absolute nature of our own minds.
