Truth and Justice Vigil with Valerie Mason-John - 4/27/21
Channel: Common Ground Meditation Center
Date: 2021-04-28

The Truth & Justice Vigil is intended to be a compassionate and grounding (virtual) support for practitioners following and impacted by the trials of the police officers involved in the killing of George Floyd, so that we may stay present and fully awake in the face of obscene brutality and still remain rooted in the intention to be guided by love and wisdom. Centering Buddhist teachings and practices that inform and support us in orienting our voices and choices toward healing, courage and freedom, the Truth & Justice Vigil will bring sangha together to illuminate that which supports abandoning divisive and habitual reactive patterns. We have invited Black Buddhist teachers and leaders from across the U.S. to join in leading the Truth & Justice Vigil, and offer teachings that will lessen the grip of historical fear, doubt, hatred, indifference, and disillusionment. Sessions will include connecting through chanting, meditation and engaged reflection. For more info visit: https://commongroundmeditation.org/truth-justice-vigil/
