Summary: Episode Description: As the afternoon session resumes, Roshi continues discussing the importance of activism in nonviolence. That we must intelligently put ourselves in harms way based on compassion. But that we have to be really careful about narcissism in this work lest it become about ourselves. It is fundamentally about humility and one must realize there is no glory; that much of it is about doing scut work. Roshi then discusses the archetype of the BodhIsattva and breaks down the Four Vows. Carefully explaining the meaning of each vow and it's importance within the Mahayana path. The session concludes with a number of questions from the audience. One question: "Is there a word one can use which means non-violence but does not use the word violence?"
