Remaining Human: A Buddhist Perspective on Occupy Wallstreet

Buddhist wisdom applied to revolutionary emergence. A well articulated depth of perspective offered on the Occupy Movement. Deeply resonant and inspiring words! Drawing me deeper into the living realization of the beautifully fresh and engaging process of what it is to awaken in this evolving new paradigm. Where as Slavoj Žižek says, “Enlightenment is not personal; it’s collective.”

“If we can trust in the space where, on the one hand, we are fed up with economic instability and ecological degradation and, on the other, we value interconnectedness, we are doing the same thing collectively that the meditator does on his or her cushion. We are trusting that something loving and creative will emerge from this space that we create. It’s too early to say what that may be. It won’t just be a rehashing of an ideology from the past. These are new times and require a new imaginative response.”
