Bhikkhu Buddhadasa on Nature and Ecology
At Cathy's suggestion, seconded by Ralph and myself, we will discuss this article  by Tavivat Puntarigvivat:

Tavivat is a Thai scholar who did his PhD at Temple on "Ajahn Buddhadasa and Liberation Theology." He continues to write about social issues from perspectives of Buddhist ethics and teachings.

How can a grounding in Buddhist social ethics and healthy living teachings help us find our voices to uphold what is worthwhile and skillfully, peacefully oppose what is destructive and evil in our society, politics, and economics? 

For location  and related information, please go here.

Dāna (donations, gifts, free-will offerings) to sustain Liberation Park and support our work are most welcome. Santikaro and Liberation Park depend on donations as sole means of support. Liberation Park in turn makes donations to Wesley UMC for kindly hosting us. 

A sampler of Santikaro's talks from La Crosse and elsewhere are posted at http://liberationpark.org/audio/index.htm

Next sessions:  January 9 & 23, 2019. We won't meet the day after Christmas.

Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche Sangha: Sunday, December 16our monthly meditation group meet on Sunday, December 16th instead. We will meet as usual from 10:30 - noon.

Here's the article by Pema Chodron that we will read together (you can read ahead too!) and discuss.
