Thich Nhat Hanh had been invited along with other prominent religious leaders from around the planet to meet and discuss how spiritual values could be used to help resolve global issues. Before an estimated thirty heads of state, two hundred of the world’s richest men and women, and a few thousand of the most influential movers and shakers alive, Thich Nhat Hanh spoke with love, compassion, and total fearlessness. He was not there to seek support or approval from the great and famous. He was there hoping to awaken in them their best, to help them change the world by touching their own true selves. In a gathering dedicated to wealth, influence, and power in all its fabulous manifestations, he spoke in a soft and quiet voice. He asked nothing of them, only reminding them to please always remember their common humanity. On its Web site, the World Economic Forum proudly displays the motto “Committed to Improving the State of the World.” That day, in Davos, Switzerland, Thich Nhat Hanh asked everyone to adopt the motto “Committed to Improving the State of Every Heart.” Thich Nhat Hanh has spent his life speaking truth to power and truth to the powerless.

    9/20/2020 Lecture 17: Intro to Literature & the Environment, Buddhism, Ideology - Google Docs Lecture 17: Intro to Literature & the Environment, Buddhism, Ideology Buddhism and Earlier (and Later) Traditions The spiritual context of ancient India had a strong influence on the Buddha’s teachings. Buddhism is made of non­Buddhist elements in the same way that a flower is made of non­flower elements. In the West, Buddhism is often associated with the ideas of reincarnation, karma, and retribution, but these are not originally Buddhist concepts. They were already well established when the Buddha began teaching. In fact, they were not at all at the heart of what the Buddha taught. Thích Nhất Hạnh The idea of reincarnation suggests there is a separate soul, self, or spirit that somehow leaves the body at death, flies away, and then reincarnates in another body. It’s as though the body is some kind of house for the mind, soul, or spirit. This implies that the mind and body can be separated from each other, and that although the body is impermanent, the mind and spirit are somehow permanent. But neither of these ideas is in accord with the deepest teachings of Buddhism. Thích Nhất Hạnh We can speak of two kinds of Buddhism: popular Buddhism and deep Buddhism. Different audiences need different kinds of teachings, so the teachings should always be adapted in order to be appropriate to the audience...In popular Buddhist culture, it is said there are countless hell realms that we can fall into after dying. Many temples display vivid illustrations of what can happen to us in the hell realms—for example, if we lie in this lifetime, our tongue will be cut out in the next.

    THE NOBLE PATH OF SOCIALLY-ENGAGED PEDAGOGY: CONNECTING TEACHING AND LEARNING WITH PERSONAL AND SOCIETAL WELL-BEING by CLAY McLEOD LL.B., The University of Alberta, 1992 B.Ed., Malaspina University-College, 1999 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EDUCATION in THE COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA - OKANAGAN September, 2007 © Clay McLeod, 2007 ii ABSTRACT This thesis is an articulation of how the principles of socially-engaged Buddhism, a spiritual practice rooted in the teachings of the historical Buddha that integrates Buddhist practice and social activism, can enrich and enhance contemporary educational practice. It discusses Buddhist epistemology, metaphysics, ontology, psychology, ethics, and practice and relates these things to holistic education, critical pedagogy, SEL, and global education. On the basis of the theoretical understanding represented by that discussion, it articulates several theoretical principles that can be practically applied to the practice of teaching and learning to make it resonate with the theory and approach of socially- engaged Buddhism. In integrating the implications of Buddhist teachings and practices with teaching and learning practice, it draws from bell hooks’ notion of “engaged pedagogy” in order to articulate a transformational, liberatory, and progressive approach to teaching called “socially-engaged pedagogy.” Socially-engaged pedagogy represents the notion that teaching and learning can be a practical site for progressive social action designed to address the real problem of suffering, both in the present and in the future, as it manifests in the world, exemplified by stress, illness, violence, war, discrimination, oppression, exploitation, poverty, marginalization, and ecological degradation.

Earlier drafts were read at Harvard, Stanford (at the Asilomar Conference on early Mahayana in May 2001), Washington and UC Berkeley, and a considerably expanded treatment of the same material was presented as the Radhakrishnan Lectures for 2002 at the University of Oxford.
