In times of war, when it’s nearly impossible not to cause harm – how can we cause the least harm possible?  

This conversation will explore the complexity of practicing the first precept of not harming – a core commitment on the Buddhist path of liberation – during times of violence and instability.  

Our inquiry will weave in Buddhist teachings on wise view, wise speech, compassionate action, grief and forgiveness, as well as more contemporary spiritual and political perspectives on nonviolence, armed resistance, and transformative justice.  

Attendees will be invited to contemplate what true peace means for them, and will move towards clarifying they might embody peace in their personal practice, in their intimate relationships, and in their interrelationship with all of life.
