Conversation that sheds light on ways we may put into practice on how to be effective contributors to peace, transformation and good will on a personal level and on the planet. What I more appreciate is the fact that we have both female perspective and a male perspective in this interview which truly brings us to the middle way! 🙏🌺 - shared on Facebook with what I wrote here. Thank you! note: I am Palestinian Arab born in Jerusalem 1944 and born a Quaker. Immigrated to USA in 1974. Peace is continuous work in my heart. as well as work on healing and transforming the trauma.

Tara is an excellent investment of my attention. What she says always lands right in my heart. Her words, her voice and expression. The bodhisattva path is the path for me. For me, it began with Pema Chodron.

I feel so strongly this type of instruction and openness should be required teaching.

These teachings remind me of the teachings found in the book Loving-kindness, the Revolutionary Art of Happiness by Sharon Salzberg. I love these teachings. I spent most of my childhood and early adulthood trying to suppress anger, fear, jealousy and pride. When I read Meditation for Dummies by Stephan Bodian and the book by Sharon Salzberg I started trying to feel these feelings until they go away rather than suppressing or acting on them. I was much happier feeling these feelings until they go away rather than suppressing them. I like the book Do What You Are by Paul D. Tieger, Barbara Barron, and Kelly Tieger. It helps me understand people better and be more forgiving and loving towards people who are different than me.

Thanks for sharing your books that helped you. All the best to you.

I try to remind myself that some people are so stuck in delusion, greed, and hatred - in samsara - that they don't know how to do anything other than cause harm. I try to imagine the pain they must be in to spread that level of hate, and feel compassion for that pain. It certainly isn't always easy, but it also helps alleviate my own suffering around their behavior.

Outstanding conversational

a note: sense of humor is always an important ingredient to ad to the mix here and there!

Thank you Dan and Tara. Hope springs. Dan: would be great to talk with John Paul Lederach sometime.

Love this idea and I've been on and off about trying to implement this over the years, especially when, as mentioned the election is coming and like a lot of us I'm struggling mightily with a potential repeat of 2016 And it's becomes super discouraging when Tara, who is preaching and hopefully practicing this all, says she also loses sleep because of the election? So how is a mere mortal supposed to handle it?

"And if the ends don't justify the means, what does?" Saul Alinsky, American Labor Organizer. What after all, ended the Holocausts in Germany, Rwanda, or Cambodia? Breathing?

Dan, maybe the Dalai Lama was meant to leave his home to really spread Buddhism to the world ? The Buddha too left his palace.
