The Experience of Insight

A message from Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi

Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi has launched a petition addressed to President Trump, urging action to end the mass starvation of civilians in Gaza. It is titled: President Trump, Gaza Is Starving. Please Stop This!

We share this in support of his call to respond to suffering with compassion and moral courage.

You do not need to be Buddhist to sign—only someone moved to respond to suffering with care. Bhikkhu Bodhi hopes to gather as many signatures as possible by Sunday, so the petition can be sent early next week.

Read the petition and consider signing or sharing it:

May all beings be safe and free from suffering.

This prayer walk, and these words from Valarie Kaur, spoken at a detention center in LA after ICE raids, express Spirit in Action 💕

***********

Last night at the Federal Building where they are caging our loved ones, we came with flowers.

My remarks a moment before this photo was taken:

“To all of you soldiers, officers, and agents: Who do you want to be in this moment in history? How do you want the child in your life to remember you? Did you really take this job to go to war with your own people?

What does it look like for you to choose courage right now? It may require you to make a sacrifice…

We come here with flowers. We come here with flowers. And we will keep coming here with flowers.

As long as you hold our people in those cages – we will come here with flowers.

With our ancestors at our backs – we will come here with flowers.

With love as our guide – we will come here with flowers.

With the eyes of a sage and heart of a warrior – we will come here with flowers.

As long as we breathe — we will come here with flowers.

Until we are all free – we will come here with flowers.

As long as you are HERE, and they are THERE [our loved ones in this building] – we will come here with flowers.”
