In this episode, Jack and Ocean mindfully explore: *Activism and creating positive change in the world *How to save the world without losing yourself *Acting beautifully without attachment to the fruits *How not not to let the immense suffering of the world get to us *Wes Nisker, Gary Snyder, and saving the world because you love it *Acting in this world with peace, love, courage, and nobility *Honoring our emotions, grief, and fears, but not letting them control us *Becoming what you want the world to be *His Holiness the Dalai Lama and meeting our lives with honesty and joy *Fighting for freedom and justice, but having fun doing it *Making activism fun, joyful, and beautiful *Emphasizing the positives acts in the world *Life changing wisdom from the Buddha *Holding it all in the great heart of compassion *Adding your voice, love, energy, and compassion *If your grief is big, hold it from something bigger “Neither meditation nor activism has to be a grim duty. These are invitations to open the heart and be present for everything. In activism you stand up because you care and you love, and then you bring your best to it.” – Jack Kornfield About Ocean Robbins: Ocean Robbins is an American entrepreneur and author, best known for his role as the co-founder of Food Revolution Network, Inc.
