The Whole Earth is Medicine: A Five-Day Zen Meditation Retreat
with Rev. Steve Kanji Ruhl at The Omega Institute August 25-30, 2019
Engage stillness and silence, be attentive to what arises, and experience openings into your natural wholeness.
“Yun Men, teaching his community, said, ‘Medicine and disease subdue each other: the whole earth is medicine; what is your self?’” This Zen Buddhist koan appears in the ancient Chinese collection of The Blue Cliff Record, and we’ll use it as a touchstone, returning to it as we sit in frequent periods of silent zazen meditation or walk in kinhin meditation outdoors in Omega’s beautiful surroundings. Reverend Kanji will offer dharma talks inviting you to explore deeply: How do we experience the whole earth as medicine? What does it mean when we say that medicine and disease subdue each other? What is the source of dis-ease? What is authentic healing? And the ultimate question: What is your self? Come for five days of serenity, of challenge, and of awakening to your life.

One Earth, One Chance: The Environmental Crisis and Green Buddhism
with Rev. Steve Kanji Ruhl at Yale University, September 24, 2019
How can we move from despair to empowerment as we engage the crisis of a world on fire?
Green Buddhism, a diverse, loosely affiliated, global movement of eco-dharma practitioners, can offer possibilities. It unites contemporary environmental awareness with traditional Buddhist teachings that identify the deep sources of our current predicament and offer principles of interdependence to guide and inspire us. It provides time-tested practices to help us acknowledge our grief, fear, and anger, allowing us to move into a fiercely committed, compassionate, defiantly joyful resilience, with energy for enacting real transformation -- in ourselves and in our suffering world. This evening we’ll briefly survey the worldwide scope of Green Buddhism, note its intersectionality with issues of eco-feminism, class, and race, discuss what we can do in our own lives and in our communities, and more. All are welcome!
