So I also pulled away. But, as all things are interdependent I feel like I need to find a place to be balanced. <BR/><BR/>Finding your blog was a ray of light. I am a fan.<BR/><BR/>As a teacher once said, mixing politics in the Dharma isn't so good, but a little bit of Dharma in politics could be very helpful. Wait, now that I think about it, it was Dharma and music...either way I think it fits. =-)<BR/><BR/>Take care of yourself so you can take care of the world.<BR/><BR/>May all beings benefit.<BR/><BR/>-JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988514793645853825.post-44399389522857878672008-07-01T22:05:00.000-04:002008-07-01T22:05:00.000-04:00Take heart! Don't let current events burn you out. In circumstances beyond our control where the sasana is involved, I think we can still take interest in an unclinging, dispassionate, and sympathetic way, as Buddhists. And no matter what happens on the other side of the world, we will always have a personal duty to act according to the Dhamma here and now.Lotus_in_the_hillshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09589922616634551575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988514793645853825.post-4954921125974487432008-06-06T08:47:00.000-04:002008-06-06T08:47:00.000-04:00It's always nice to take a break. It has been refreshing for me to stay away from the news cycle so far, but I still find that I have this desire to want to look for something to read that I need to watch over. Be well in your practice.Dhamma81http://www.blogger.com/profile/07062221333467776105noreply@blogger.com
