Episode Description: What are the vital ingredients for a thriving community? Sensei Hozan Alan Senauke and Petra Zenryū Hubbeling continue a theme from the recent Sesshin, “Instructions to the Cook,” in which they discuss five main courses of a Zen “Supreme Meal.” The meal is a metaphor for a life that is lived fully and completely, and the five courses consist of spirituality, knowledge, livelihood, social action, and community. For Sensei Alan, the heart of community is zazen. Alan discusses a notion, “the beloved community,” from Martin Luther King Jr., which includes a triangle of love, respect, and accountability. Petra adds three central tenets of the Zen Peacemaker Order: not knowing, bearing witness, and compassionate action. She discusses her work in community with Upaya and describes the programs in engaged Buddhism which are offered here.
