A Special Social Justice Announcement

Posted on by

In response to the rising tide of political hostility and social injustice, the Rime Buddhist Center has released a powerful statement, ‘Resisting Oppression, Upholding Compassion: A Path Forward Through the Six Paramitas in Troubled Times.’ This document addresses the urgent need to resist harmful policies targeting vulnerable communities and the erosion of democratic values. It offers a framework for action based on the Six Paramitas (Generosity, Ethical Conduct, Patience, Diligence, Meditative Concentration, and Wisdom) as a guide for compassionate and effective resistance. The statement calls for a mindful, sustained commitment to alleviating suffering and building a more just and compassionate society for all. It emphasizes that true resistance embodies the Bodhisattva spirit, transforming not only the world but also our own hearts and minds. Read the full statement to learn more about this important message.
