Our first Women’s Study Group met at Dublin Zen Centre today. Well done to Rev. Sansa for leading it, and to all members of the Sangha that took part. 🙏

Dublin Zen Centre is closed tomorrow. There will be no meditation, as a board meeting is happening 🙏

Will not visit the USA until human rights are reinstated.

With people trying to burn families in international protection and blow up mosques in Galway, it’s only a matter of time until Elon Musk’s fascists in Ireland commit an atrocity of blood chilling proportions. We need to turn the tide on this hate before it gets totally out of control. 🙏

If you want to see a clear example of the subversion of democracy, look at the New York mayoral election. Big business and the rich are spending millions and threatening to set the will of the people aside if Zohran Kwame Mamdani is elected. It’s almost as bad as Russia already.

“There is a Knowledge, which is desirable, though nothing come of it, as being of itself a treasure, and a sufficient remuneration of years of labour.” - From ‘The Idea of a University’, John Henry Newman.
