SUMMARY:Larry Robinson ~ This Precious Jade Teacup Is Already Broken: Participating Joyfully in the Suffering of the World
DESCRIPTION:Larry Robinson is something of a modern-day Renaissance man. Moving easily from the meditation hall to the halls of power\, Larry is a long-time Zen practitioner\, a published poet\, a potter\, a retired eco-psychologist\, and a former Green Party city councilman and mayor of Sebastopol\, known for starting off city council meetings with poetry. He is also the founder and producer of the critically acclaimed Rumi’s Caravan\, a performance troupe dedicated to restoring the soul of the world through reviving the oral tradition of ecstatic poetry. Larry has been practicing meditation for 50 years\, primarily in the Zen and vipassana traditions\, and is a member of the Occidental Laguna Sangha in Sebastopol\, a Zen gathering in the lineage of Suzuki Roshi. He also serves on the boards of the Center for Climate Protection and Meridian University. \n“We are living through a time of societal and ecological collapse. Many of us are overwhelmed with feelings of grief and helplessness in the face of such enormous loss and suffering. It requires great courage to keep our hearts open at such a time. The Buddhist practices of Brahmaviharas ─ compassion\, loving kindness\, sympathetic joy and equanimity ─ offer a pathway to avoiding the twin perils of despair and naive hope while still being fully engaged in the world.” \n  \nSuggested Donation: $15-$25\nNo one turned away for lack of funds
