ABOUT ELIZABETH’S TALK THIS EVENT
Burning With Love in a World We Can’t Fix
We often wish we could fix the world - bring it to a static state of peaceful equilibrium. Of course, that’s impossible, not because the world is broken, but because life is too dynamic for the likes of our ideas. The path of the bodhisattva centers on navigating our way through the heart of this predicament in the most stunning way. Elizabeth will use the story of the bodhisattva, Avalokiteshvara - The One who doesn’t avert his attention from the suffering of beings - to explore this topic.
