Roshi Bernie Glassman: Bearing Witness to the Oneness of Life 2011 (Part 1 of 6)
Episode Description: What’s the deal here? In the first of this six-part workshop, Bernie Glassman asks, What does spirituality bring to social engagement? And, in particular, what does the experience of Buddhism bring? Bernie reflects on the basic tenet of Buddhism which is the energy of the interconnectedness of life, and defines “grokking” as bearing witness. Questions from the audience bring about the discussion of the Arab Spring and the beauty of new paradigms.
