From the daily little Buddhist email I get from Beliefnet

One moon appears everywhere in all bodies of water; the moons in all bodies of water are contained in one moon. This is a metaphor for one mind producing myriad things and myriad things producing one mind. This refers to dream illusions, flowers in the sky, half-seeming, half empty.

-Hsueh-yen

There is something afoot at the moment all over the world. Emails and phone calls are coming in from all over North America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia. It’s hard to pin down but it has to do with a sea change in the way we work with each other, relate to each other and refuse to be pushed around anymore. It is a living in truth that is springing from a generosity of spirit and resources. I refuse to admit that I’m wrong about this. I’m prepared to sit on a leading edge for the rest of my life in the knowledge and belief that this moon will be reflected in every body of water on earth.

In April we have an amazing event happening here in Vancouver. The Dalai Lama, Vaclav Havel, Desmond Tutu and Shirin Ebadi are all coming here to talk about educating the heart and the mind. I’m attending one of the Dalai Lama’s teachings, being held appropriately enough in a hockey arena. With that and the emerging work on the Giving for Civil Society Open Space conference it feels like something wide is opening up.

As they say in the antipodes, “it’s all good.”
