Transcript below the fold.
Hey everyone, this is Katie from Turning Wheel Media. Thanks for being with us this week!
It’s been an honor to kick off our month of the Dharma of Food Justice with contributions from: rachel bolden-Kramer from New York, who has this incredible piece on her discovery of the transformative power of food through Buddhist retreat practice, and how she now shares that transformative power with others through her Food Stamps Cookbook and her accessible yoga teachings in New York — she, like, does amazing things, and you don’t want to miss her piece, which is brilliant and moving.
And we also had the honor of sharing a contribution from the Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi, who is well known for his work with Buddhist Global Relief, around ending hunger, and who asserts that, rather than anger and violence, one of the greatest moral dangers of our time may be spiritual indifference. So check out his piece as well, and see what you think!
If the offerings that you find here on Turning Wheel Media resonate with you, if it makes you excited to see Buddhists talking about issues like food justice, and making visible our commitment not only to spiritual liberation but to material liberation and collective liberation, please consider supporting the organizations of the contributors like rachel and Bhikkhu Bodhi, as well as supporting our work here at Turning Wheel Media.
Dollar donations are greatly appreciated, and in the spirit of dana, of generous giving, we appreciate anything that you can give to help us continue offering this as a place where Buddhists and practitioners of dhamma can convene and build our collective commitment towards freedom. Freedom in all senses. So thank you so much for your efforts and your support, and be well! Alright, take care. (Bows)

You have a white piano — how cool! I love these videos…
Katie Loncke
Thank you Breeze! And thanks again for your contribution! That idea for online book club is still percolatin in me head.
Maia, Yep, the folks I’m staying with have a gorgeous house with a piano and sunny garden. And Dawn was testing out the white piano last time she was here — I didn’t even know she played! I told her we need to form a band and make the Buddhist equivalent of Christian Rock. I’m only half joking…
Dawn
Maybe the next video will have to include a little piano playing in the background!
My mind kept popping out thoughts about a BPF online book club while on retreat … perhaps we should start making a list of what we wanna read?
