Donald Rothberg, a member of the Teachers Council at Spirit Rock Meditation Center, addresses the sensitive topic of race, racism and spiritual practice in this recording, with a reference to the line “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
While our collective mindfulness of race and spiritual practice has increased in recent decades, there is still so much that needs to be done. To help me connect with people in meaningful, vulnerable and beneficial ways, it is my ongoing intention to listen to those with very different backgrounds and ethnicities than mine. Here are some mindfulness teachers who have helped me learn some of the important nuances of mindfulness of race:
- Ruth King
- Larry Yang
- Anushka Fernandopulle
- Nikki Mirghafori
- Venerable Pannavati
