Being Spiritual & Politically Engaged

Published: July 9, 2016, 10:06 p.m.

b'We are witnessing the most polarizing politics in modern American History. Should Bodhisattvas (Spiritual Warriors) become involved in the political arena as a method of helping everyone attain the requisites of a spiritual life? My answer to this question is "Yes." When we enter into the political discussion with Wisdom and Skillfulness, we are not dirtying our hands in a messy, mundane world that we should abandon, we are staying true to our intention of shedding light in the darkened corners of our world guiding everyone to the true and lasting happiness found on the spiritual path. Don\'t just be angry or worried, do something with that anger and fear - ENGAGE! (Recorded March 19, 2016)'
