I had a meditation teacher for quite a while and I enjoyed going to his retreats. A big part of his practice was being benevolent to other people. No one could argue with that at the time, the last half of the 20th Century.
But times have changed, they have gotten much worse. And benevolence is no longer cutting it.
You have to know what is going on, and how to react appropriately to them. The basic concept here is to react. To do something.
You gotta have smarts and know how to use them. Right?
There is a meditation center called Spirit Rock in Marin County, just north of San Francisco. Probably the most beautiful retreat center in the world.
Not too long ago they decided to mount an all-out attack on the problems of the time. They had a special retreat with some of their best meditators and even advertised, in advance, the expected results of this operation.
Which were zero, nothing!
