Seeds of Mindful Resistance: BPF Joins "Occupy the Farm"
Life for an activist would be boring indeed if all we ever did was shout, protest, fume, and fulminate.At BPF we embrace anger, yes, but also agency. The power to build and cultivate the things we want to see in the world. Like this solidarity action with Occupy the Farm, in Albany, California.Organizers at the Gill Tract Farm, a piece of historic, public farmland under threat of transformation into a strip mall, invited us to hold a sunrise meditation — partly to bless the land and partly to keep a lookout for authorities who like to barge in at odd hours and rip up the farmers' hard work![divide]Buddhist Peace Fellowship is a completely donor-funded non-profit organization. Please GIVE today and support social justice activism plus meaningful spirituality.
