Canadian sangha member Patti Fraser writes about being with a grieving friend, “To act skillfully is to drop the idea of skillful action as a set of preordained behaviours. I let go of thoughts of how to be useful, or help, or prevent suffering. In their stead, I tried to be just present.”
“This mind now is the dharma we have been looking for. Practicing the dharma means working with present appearances. Working with this mind now.”

la karunika Adela Iglesias, miembro de la Comunidad Hispana de Nalandabodhi, escribe: “El karma colectivo moldea las consecuencias éticas, sociales e incluso sanitarias de las comunidades, influyendo tanto en el sufrimiento como en el bienestar. Dicho de otro modo, a través de nuestras acciones como un grupo, moldeamos los contornos de nuestra mente y del mundo que habitamos”.
