This came in from Chris Corrigan today,
In other news, a Buddhist temple here in Mission, BC, just sold its building worth $500,000 for tsunami relief. The head monk said that they could operate from a “temple of compassion” and that they bricks and morter needed to go. The sangha was shocked at first, but in the days following realized what a gift the action was, both for the Red Cross and for their own practice.
Small change all over…sCNN as a temple of compassion…
Thanks, Chris! This is certainly one of the ways that we should think about sCNN, as a sort of gathering place for compassion — not a mushy, feel good sort of compassion, though, but an active, cutting, clearing, opening and stretching — and blogging (grin) — compassion. Clarity that Works!
Please add tsunami relief and/or common good project blogs to the comments here so we can start growing the Local News (projects) blogroll!
