> The violence of the system is much more destructive, much more harmful, although it is well hidden. We call it institutional violence. By calling ourselves nonviolent we are against all violence, but we are first against institutional violence. --Thich Nhat Hanh

« Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist; observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the contexture of the web. »

The metal framework above represents the prevalence of urban life, while the person below walks with a sense of purpose. I aimed to capture a moment in a bustling city, where human life interacts with industrial structures, creating a narrative of daily routine against a backdrop of resilience.

« But if we truly realize the interdependent nature of the dust, the flower, and the human being, we see that unity cannot exist without diversity. Unity and diversity interpenetrate each other freely. Unity is diversity, and diversity is unity. This is the principle of interbeing. »

Book meme: #20books20days #20books
20 books that have had an impact on who you are. One book a day for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, just book covers (with alt text!)

Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet - Thich Hanh, Sister True Dedication, and others.

To cheat just a bit: I might have chosen No Mud, No Lotus instead, because it was the first of Thay’s books I read (followed by some of the “How To…” set). And this picking up maybe 10 years ago on an earlier interest in #Buddhism and in particular #Zen.

But also, I suppose choosing the Diamond Sutra would have worked to, as it’s maybe the key source text for the foundational recognition of #interbeing / #emptiness that is so important in this school of practice.

So, this selection because it’s both timely and timeless. Ymmv, of course.
