What would the Buddha buy? Not too much, not too little. Picture him with his own reusable grocery bag slung over his shoulder, talking to a shopper about making mindful choices: “Do you really need it?” “Where does it come from?” “How will it affect the environment when you’re done?” He might have enjoyed celebrating International Buy Nothing Day on November 29 as a spiritual retreat from frantic holiday shopping (the “shopocalypse,” as Reverend Billy calls it).
Volunteers are needed in January to distribute information about an upcoming event at The Vancovuer Shambhala Centre about prison dharma with Mr. Bill Karelis January 30 and 31st, 2009.
Mr. Karelis has two decades of experince working in prisons around the world. He will speak on the topic: "Working with the Prison of the Mind, While Working in Prison". He may also be providing an advanced teaching on the Sunday, topic to be determined.
