Human Rights Day Collective Practice: End the Violence in Palestine and Israel

We continue our collective practice. Last Sunday, November 19th, groups and individuals practiced simultaneously across space-timezones. We hope many more will join us on December 10th, commemorating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights...

We will sit, do walking meditation, ring the bell 108 times, and recite Metta prayer. May our collective practice plant the seeds of the causes and conditions for peace.  May our practice continuously till this field, so that the harvest is of non-separation and of the truth of interbeing.

There was a strong request for another group sit from participants last Sunday, November 19th, and we at BAC felt the same.  So here it is.  Please join us on Sunday, 10 December 2023, 1-2PM US ET, Union Square, Manhattan, NYC.  We will most likely be on the north side of the park (17th St.), on the concrete. Please check our Twitter or Facebook for alerts. If possible, please come in your practice attire and bring a cushion and/or something to sit on.  For those outside NYC, please form your own gathering, practice with us, and let us know, buddhistactionny@gmail.com.

Please read this Buddhist petition for an immediate end to violence, and if it aligns with you, please sign and circulate.
