“When we bear witness, when we become the situation - homelessness, poverty, illness, violence, death - the right action arises by itself. We don't have to worry about what to do.

Once we listen with our entire body and mind, loving action arises.” InspirationalMindBodyActionDeathSituationPovertyWorryViolenceFiguresListeningBearsBecomingSolutionsIllnessAriseBuddhistWitnessFoundersMind And BodyHomelessnessPeacemakingProblems And SolutionsSolution To A ProblemRight ActionAhead Of TimeBearing Witness Book:Bearing Witness: A Zen Master's Lessons in Making Peace Source: Bearing Witness: A Zen Master's Lessons in Making Peace
