A glimpse into the visionary Buddhist’s life and practice of Roshi Joan Halifax
This Masterclass will be an exploration of the bodhisattva path of meeting the truth of suffering with courage, compassion, and joy. We will explore compassion as a necessity in our lives, reflect on the extraordinary teachings of Bernie Glassman Roshi, honor the gifts to this work by Thich Nhat Hanh and Joanna Macy, and reflect on how Roshi Joan has brought together deep practice and service in the world. This includes her work in the Himalayas with the Nomads Clinic for many decades, work on death row, accompanying dying people, and her insights from sitting in the charnel grounds and gardens of our world.
