About this event
Kirsten Rudestam - Compassion in Action: Practicing non-violence on the cushion and in the world
Martin Luther King described non-violence as an "absolute commitment to the way of love." When the Buddha taught the dharma, he began with sila, with non-harming. What is it to embody a life of non-violence and non-harming? This talk will explore the implications of this commitment to our own practice and our relationships with others and the world.
Kirsten Rudestam has been practicing meditation in the Theravadan tradition since 2001 and serves as core faculty for the Sati Center’s Buddhist Eco-Chaplaincy training program. She holds a PhD in Environmental Sociology and is a long-time student and teacher of environmental justice and earth-based practices. She is a facilitator for Joanna Macy’s “work that Reconnects” and has over twenty years of experience teaching for colleges and universities. She is a graduate of the Insight Meditation Center’s Meditation Teacher Training Program with Gil Fronsdal and Andrea Fella as well as the Community Dharma Leader Training Program at Spirit Rock. When not exploring water-bodies or on retreat, she lives in a yurt in White Salmon, Washington.
