Schedule:
Meditation: 7:00-7:30
Talk / Disucssion: 7:30 - 9:00

Equanimity:

Ideas from Buddhist Social Theory will be introduced to spark a discussion on how we can bring an awareness of injustice into our lives without falling into "good guys vs. bad guys" thinking. Dividing the world into "us and them" or "friends and enemies" risks reinforcing rather than interrupting habits of using aggression to solve problems.
