“In light of deeply troubling politics, how does one develop real compassion as we get polarized into Us and Them?”
Ram Dass and Joseph Goldstein explore this multi-faceted question, excerpted from a virtual event.

I was waiting for Ram Dass to say yeah…. yeah…. but it's all One… it's all Love… as it is
Beautiful ❤️
One might wonder whether a well fed buddhist "alternative" normopath, especially with a name like this, would ever bring himself to truly face the question of who they are. Would it not be easier to deflect that question, to circumvent this psychological difficulty of facing who the criminals are to have compassion with in the first place, and, avoiding real metta, to immediately jump to some auxiliary concept, that is not the wish that the criminal be free of suffering (and thus of hatred too) but only free of hatred (not the practitioner, mind you, but the object of one's practice, so the Freudian wannabe buddhist feels ok about continuing to hate the scapegoat , not the real criminals) , which is, of course, short selling the brahmaviharas ? Is this what we are looking at here ?
Thanks so much for uploading this. Assuming this was recorded right after Charlottesville?
on december 21 2012.. I saw god a ufo floated over my home, into a cloud, and away it was but to know the power and to have it not be present is amazing
