Hi, I was invited to the summit via Lion’s Roar and I am looking forward to it. However, I have a question regarding access. Is it closed captioned for the hearing impaired?
My wife, Sylvia and I, live in the Findhorn Community in Scotland. We have been part of an affinity group of whitebodied folk since June 2020 to raise our own awareness of race, white supremacy and privilege – and in particular what that means for us as members of a spiritual community. Cornelia (she/her)
I first heard of Findhorn in the 1960s, so I’m glad to hear the Findhorn Community is still bringing light to the world.

Hi,
I’m Joe, a Jamaica currently in Estonia doing research. Since 2006 I have embarked on a spiritual journey that keeps growing. I saw the link online and clicked to read and now here I am joining another community for spiritual growth. Looking forward to the Summit and will attend with the 7 hours time difference noted.
Hi Joe,
I am Jamaican born, raised in America, and lived there for over 20yrs. I am back in JA getting reacquainted and soaking my Jamaican culture. It is good to see you here. Hope you enjoy the summit.
Good morning all,
My name is Lhasha Tizer and I live and teach Buddha dharma in Tucson , AZ through Tucson Community Meditation Center and on my own.
i was fortunate to study with Pamela at Spirit Rock from 2010-2012 studying to be a Community Dharma leader. I love Pam and her work. looking forward.
Blessings,
Lhasha
Hello, I am Stephanie Steinberg. As a Jew living in San Diego, CA, I am also participating in a training at my synagogue on understanding systemic racism, injustice and privilege. I am really looking forward to this summit.
Greetings all,
I adopted (converted to?) Zen Buddhism as my religion since 1969. I’m excited to hear and see what can be said about the social illusion of race in regards to Buddhism and the general functioning of illusions in the mind. The challenge for me will be to listen with an open mind for “something new under the sun” after 50 years of viewing this problem of White supremacy and the concomittant oppression of people by the indoctrination of the color-coded caste system we call racism. In the true suchness of the one mind, there are no separate categories of male-female, different races, and so on for all the oppositions, yet in the world of affairs we imagine all the variations of oppositions possible and this imagination is also the functioning of the true suchness of mind. As the Treatise on the Mahayana Arousing of Faith states, “That which is the Mind’s True Suchness, is exactly the characteristic of the great unity of the One Dharma-realm and the Dharma Gate’s essence. That which is designated the Nature of the Mind is unborn and undying. There is differentiation of all the various things only by relying on erroneous conceptions.”
So I’m looking forward to hear what the presenters say about our erroneous conceptions in regard to the imagination of race and racism.

My name is Katya de Kadt (formerly Karen Smith). I live in upstate New York. I come from a life long activism fighting racism since the early 1960’s. I only came to my Buddhism (Theravada) practice in 2001. While I have gratitude for the teachings of those I have studied with I have always been very dissatisfied with the practice as I felt it was too inwards and individualistic and did not reach out with compassion to the larger community nor try to change the oppressive conditions many face which cause suffering. The groups were also predominantly white. I have been reading a great deal lately from Ruth King and Resma Menakem and it has added to by understanding of the way racism affects both white and black bodies. I am looking forward to hearing from Black Buddhists about their take on the struggle for racial justice from a Buddhist perspective and what people think of the Socially Engaged Buddhist movement to whom I have only recently been introduced.
Excited to hear what my brothers and sisters in the Dharma and of Color have to say about how Buddhism has helped them survive/cope with the challenges of being black and the black experience. Introduced to Zen Buddhism through the Three Pillars of Zen by Roshi Philip Kapleau, whom I had the great good fortune to meet as a teen when he came on vacation to Jamaica.
He became my Northern Star, studied with him and with his Dharma heirs. Spent the last 40 years or so in his lineage. The practice saved my life as I grappled with growing up in a post-colonial slave society as zazen helped me to look into the conditioned mind and put me on the Path of emancipating myself from mental slavery.
Those of us who have had the privilege of encountering the Dharma and benefited from practice have an obligation to share their experience. Looking forward to learning and making friends!
Hey Joe, reaching out as another Jamaican here, now residing in Canada. Hope the Summit will help you in your spiritual quest and that you will find the answers to your questions?

Hello, as a Social Science and Yoga student I am very excited to be joining this summit. I am looking forward to learning from this talented and passionate group of speakers.
Good morning! I am joining today from Portland, Maine and am part of a Racial Affinity Group that formed over a year ago with other white women wishing to learn more about our part in systemic racism. We are part of a larger Sangha.
My wish is that I can learn to better understand my part in racism and help heal other clueless white people, leading to a kinder, more informed culture.

Hi! I’m excited to attend the summit. I have a tiny cabin retreat space that I have made available to all COVID-19 first responders/healthcare workers, civil servants, public servants and clergy of all denominations for FREE for short term stays (2 nights). The cabin seated on a mountain ridge 1.5 hours north of ATL with lots of nearby hiking trails and other outdoor activities.

Good morning I am Mike in Nixa, Mo. We have been studying the Racism problem as part of our social action program through our Sangha at our local Buddhist Temple.

Warm greetings from cold Finland 🙂 In 2003 i went to my first Vipassana (tradition of S.N Goenka) meditation retreat in India and for the next 11 years following that went to yearly retreats and meditated nearly daily. Then 7 years ago i felt a need to stop meditation and grow in other areas of life. About a month ago a friend posted a video of Tara Brach talking about meditation on her facebook wall and i liked it so much i signed up on her “mindfullness daily” program and it has been really great. So daily meditation has found it’s way back to my life. In one of Tara’s newsletters she was recommending this summit so i’m here. Many years ago i was wondering why i’ve never met any people of colour in any meditation retreats i did in India and Europe. So curious to hear from other perspectives in this summit. Thank you all for being
Hi,
I have been interested in Buddhism for quite a few years, but have somehow never taken a “serious” step to make it part of my everyday life. As a ‘vanilla packaged’ woman living in the US, I am very well aware of and angry with the tremendous injustices of systemic racism. When I tried to find a sangha here in my adopted home town, it was quite obvious, yet once again, that most of the participants were “White.” At the same time I have been become familiar with the amazing Ruth King, who I am so looking forward to hear from, along with all the other teachers. Long story short, while I feel more and more the need to incorporate the Wisdom of Buddhism into my life, I am really thrilled to be part of this particular seminar. I was amazed to hear in Pamela Ayo Yetunde’s introduction that this space will also be extended to have been put in the social box “white.” I wish to utilize Buddhism, in part, as one of the “many means necessary” to whole-heartedly stand with all my sisters and brothers; be there social box “Black” or “POC.”
I live in the Portland, OR metro area, and am white. About 5 years ago, I became licensed as a Religious Science Practitioner through the Centers for Spiritual Living, a New Thought organization based on the principles of Oneness (Source) as the Truth of our existence, and that honors all paths to God. My early spiritual teacher was my grandfather, who became a Theosophist and vegetarian not long after WWII. I also spent most of my childhood in Asia. My elder adult daughter is a formal Zen student living in Brooklyn. So I have been exposed to many Buddhist teachings but don’t practice or formally study it.
For the last 3 years or so, I’ve been seeking to dismantle systemic racism in my mind and as manifested on the planet. Have recently been reading Sebene Selassie’s book You Belong, and Lama Rod Owens’ Live and Rage for insight into Black Buddhist experience and practice, both of which I recommend. Looking forward to learning more through this summit!
A quick suggestion for the publishers of the Schedule: Could you please include how long each session is expected to last, so I can better plan my day? Thank you!
Greetings all. My name is Sanford. I’m and educator and clinical trainer, and involved in Wilderness Therapy (mental health) for teens and adults. We see how access to mental health and outdoor behavioral health for kids and young adults of color is limited by all sorts of impediments.
Hello all! My name is Sarah and I am a professor at Northwestern University, specializing in Tibetan Buddhist Studies. I’m listening to this summit because I want to think more about how to teach courses on Buddhism & race, and more broadly how to incorporate anti-racist pedagogy in my teaching. I am also rewriting a Buddhism textbook I co-authored and thinking about how to better incorporate Black Buddhist voices into how I tell the story of Buddhism.
WOW WOW WOW! This is super exciting. I am so looking forward to connecting with this Beloved World Community over the next week. Ayo – fantastic!! My name is Amana Brembry Johnson and I am located in Oakland, California and live on unceded, sacred land of the Lisjan Ohlone, soon to move to the Mt. Shasta area, land of the Karuk Winneman Wintu. May we all remember to touch the earth today and feel into our interconnectedness.
