'Zen & Compassion - Dogen's Kannon, the KKK and Larry Trapp'
Most of us want to bring more compassion into our lives. This talk examines what Zen master Dogen Zenji says about compassion; particularly looking at the 'Kannon' chapter of his Shobogenzo.
It also tells the true story of Michael Weisser and Larry Trapp to show how radical compassionate action changed the life of a Grand Dragon of The KKK for the better. Finally the talk looks at what practical advice Dogen gives on how to behave more compassionately in our everyday lives.
