A Blog About Buddhism & Social Justice by Rev. Danny Fisher
…So I’m not even going to try. Here he is:
Please come to the bone marrow drive at the Dharma Seal Temple in Rosemead, CA, next Sunday, February 26th. It’s an incredibly important cause, as the fliers below indicate.
On this subject, see also a past post at my personal website, “Buddhists Represent for Mixed Marrow”.
ABOUT OFF THE CUSHION
This blog begins with the assumption that Thai social critic and engaged Buddhist thinker Sulak Sivaraksa is correct when he says, "Any attempt to understand Buddhism apart from its social dimension is fundamentally a mistake." It also affirms Cambodian peace activist and Buddhist monk Maha Ghosananda's belief that "we must find the courage to leave our temples and enter the temples of human experience, temples that are filled with suffering." Therefore we shall seek to look closely at contemporary human problems in light of Buddhist thought, looking for ways to apply Buddhist values in service of a more just, peaceful, and loving world. Rev. Danny Fisher, ordained Buddhist minister and chaplain, is the author, but your thoughts and contributions are most welcome and strongly encouraged.
