Random Linkage: The Game of Tibet, Awakening Together, Kate or Die

• ‘Game of Tibet’ from Lhakar Diaries brings the story of Rignam Wangkhang, a Canadian-Tibetan (or Tibetan-Canadian) graduate of Queen’s University who writes of  their current experience with the Parliamentary Friends of Tibet internship program on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
• I just read about Faith in Action DC from Jack at Dharma Punx DC and wanted to share it as it looks like an amazing “multimedia project that documents and celebrates the community service and social justice work of diverse people of faith throughout the DC region”. More of this everywhere please!
• Josh Korda on “Awakening Together”

When we take the risk to step out from behind the wall of our social mask, we grant ourselves and others a safe space to be authentic. In being vulnerable we may experience, at times, the feeling of not being met, understood, or wounded. Yet we must continue. For the real misery and emotional pain lies in staying remote and hiding behind our views and opinions, rather than our empathy and compassion. The reward of taking risks and daring to be emotionally exposed is that, with persistence, it will lead to real deep connection and growth in unison with others.

•  I love Kate Leth (Kate or Die) and everything she has ever put a pen to. She is just wonderful. Witness her work. Gawd. So good.
