Book signing and discussions with author Dr. Rima Vesely-Flad about two of the greatest literary voices from the US and how they reflect justice and liberation.
Interview: The Road Home with Ethan Nichtern
Ethan talks to author, scholar and teacher Dr. Rima Vesely-Flad about her insightful new book The Fire Inside: The Dharma of James Baldwin and Audre Lorde.
Defining Your Role in the Fight Against State Violence
At the time of writing, there is great peril in our country; there is also great promise.
The level of state violence against immigrants and the protestors supporting them provokes an undeniably just rage.
As Audre Lorde taught us, it is healthy to give this rage oxygen.
It is communicating something important: an urgency, a need to stand against injustice, a need to insist upon safety and protection for all.
Manifesting Buddhahood in This Lifetime with Dr. Kamilah Majied
Buddha-nature refers to the innate potential for every living being to attain enlightenment, and one of the most compelling aspects of Nichiren Buddhism is the teaching that this is already present in every being. The realization of this inherent truth is called “Buddhahood.” In this episode, Rima Vesely-Flad speaks with Dr. Kamilah Majied about using hardship as fuel for reaching the state of mind called Buddhahood.
