In solidarity with #ScholarStrike, I'm dedicating tomorrow's Buddhism class to @PAyoY10's provocative rereading of the story of Siddhartha Gautama's enlightenment and her proposed expansion of the Four Noble Truths in light of #BlackLivesMatter: lionsroar.com/buddhism-age-b…
@PAyoY10's update pairs organically with our study of accounts of the Buddha's enlightenment in the sutras, and it links mobilizing for racial justice to understandings of the Dharma. A meaningful link between reading sutra translations and engagement with social justice.
