"To Live Is To Kill": A Starting Point For Our Training As Peacemakers
- Presenter: Cristina Moon
- Subject: Peacemaker Circle, Practice
Rev. Cristina Moon speaks on the importance of cultivating a fighting spirit to make peace, and on Zen Master Omori Sogen’s teaching that “to live is to kill.” These have important implications for how to begin our training as peacemakers, and the intensity and depth of training that this role can require. Reflecting on three and a half years living at Chōzen-Ji and a lifetime as a peace activist, sometimes on the front lines, Cristina will share some of the principles and practicalities of the Chōzen-Ji training method and lessons within it for the important task of peacemaking.
We are a worldwide movement of Peacemakers who practice meditation, embody the Three Tenets of the Zen Peacemakers (Not Knowing, Bearing Witness, Taking Action), live an ethical life, and do social action as a path of awakening and service. We seek to connect, inspire, support, train, and mobilize Zen Peacemakers throughout the world.
