Would you like to read a transformational book written by a Buddhist author about race over the summer? Would you consider doing this as a community, within a supportive online ‘Reading Circle’ with other Triratna sangha members?
We are offering the opportunity to explore a wonderful work in a spacious format over these Summer months and early Fall: Black Buddhists and the Black Radical Tradition by Dr. Rima Vesely-Flad. The author has generously offered to meet with our Reading Circles for Q&A at the end of the cycle!
The Reading Circles will be held over Zoom for 90 minutes, during times that will allow for international engagement from our community. Most of our time will be spent in racial affinity groups (ie intentional groups of white/white-presenting people and people of color devoted to exploring their racial conditioning). There will be an opportunity to come together at key moments, such as during our sessions with the authors.
This initiative is a collaboration of the (white) Awareness is Revolutionary Collective and members of the BIPOC/BAME community of Triratna.
