American Buddhism Calls for Participation
In
this historical moment when American democratic ideals of freedom,
civility, pluralism, altruism, and individualism make America the most
comfortable home on earth for the individual pursuit of enlightenment,
it is an essential form of Buddhist practice to participate in politics,
to vote, to speak out, to encourage those who agree, to reason with
those who disagree. It is wisdom. It is meditation. It is compassion. It
is ethics.
