THE PRACTICE OF PEACE: Peace walks as spiritual and social action
Wednesday, October, 25th, 2023
In the early years of my practice, I was blessed with the opportunity to accompany Maha Ghosananda on his peace-building efforts in Cambodia. He led a Dhammayietra, an “army of peace”, which generated loving-kindness step by step, through the provinces of Cambodia– where there was still war actively raging, where there was deforestation, or where there were land mines: wherever it was most needed. Yeshua Moser-Puangsuwan helped organize those walks. He will be speaking to our community WEDNESDAY, 7- 8:30 pm. We will gather at Goddard Chapel. (Zoom link provided upon request: please email jihyang.padma@tufts.edu).
