About this title

Synopsis:

A Sample Meditation:

Loss on the Way to Enlightenment

Avoidance, rationalization, religion, reality, projection, distraction

Acknowledging that we often grow tired of the painful truth

about poverty, illness, racism, discrimination,

environmental ruin, and warfare,

we confess that we have escaped through distraction using

food, entertainment, alcohol, and personal isolation.

We regret most deeply that we have fashioned religions

to mask reality, often blaming our cruel indifference

on a divine being of our own creation.

Liberate us from the darkness of ignorance and call us,

we pray, into the light of truth,

that we may be partners in working for

peace and justice.
