05/15/2024, Dan Gudgel, dharma talk at City Center.
In this talk, given at Beginner's Mind Temple, Dōshin Dan Gudgel investigates how using the word and idea of ‘enemy’ affects our every day experience. Dan examines our national, military idea of ‘enemies,’ as well as how modern culture in the U.S. is increasingly using the word and concept of ‘enemy’ more broadly, and harmfully. With linguistic, dharma and personal examples, Dan points to how we are limiting our responses and closing our hearts to people and ideas by accepting these artificial categories of ‘enemy’ and ‘friend.’
