The World Dharma Of Freedom And Non-Violence with Alan Clements

MP3 Download Alan Clements dares to say we are living in a “post-mindfulness” era. What he means is that we all need to move into a post-hierarchical time where “nirvana” is not static and the mindful mind - observing one's self - is not mistaken for “dharma intelligence.” He encourages us to live in a liberating authenticity, devoid of dogma, spiritual mimicry, and the pretense of certainty. Clements passionately challenges us to step out of the confines of set traditions, authority and religion. Deeply influenced by his friendship with the Burmese leader of a non-violent revolution, Aung San Suu Kyi, Clements reflects her beliefs and says, “hope is irrelevant if it is not co-joined with action . . . [I]t is crucial to see that hope must be co-joined with the act of physically providing food to elevate the status of the other. It is the same with love. Love is an action; compassion is action.” (hosted by Michael Toms) Bio Alan Clements is an author, performing artist, media activist,
