Roshi Bernie Glassman: Engaged Buddhism, Radical Chaplaincy 2014 (Part 3 of 8)

Part 3: Listening without preconception. In the second part of the session, Roshi Bernie talks about the actualization of an “Indra’s Net” connecting impoverished communities by responding to the various groups’ needs by listening without preconception and acting on what arises within and between. Among other cases of skillful means, he cites his own work with the homeless, near-homeless, and ex-prisoners using the Greyston Mandala to start businesses.
