Meditation | Talk: What is Love Asking from Us? Reflections on Palestine and the Bodhisattva Path
With Tara Brach & Gabor Mate
In this conversation, Tara Brach and Gabor Maté come together to explore the heart-wrenching situation in Gaza through the lens of the Bodhisattva path. Drawing from the Bodhisattva path—the commitment to alleviate suffering for all beings—they explore the importance of compassion and engaged spirituality in responding to the oppression and trauma experienced by the Palestinian and Israeli people.
This conversation is an invitation to examine our own spiritual practices and to consider how we can embody the Bodhisattva spirit in today's world, breaking the silence and standing in solidarity with all who are suffering. It was offered as part of a series of conversations that accompany a poignant and heartbreaking film—Where Olive Trees Weep—about the struggles and resilience of Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. Access to the full program and the film is by donation at https://whereolivetreesweep.com/event.
