Right Resistance: Dharma in the Age of Trump | Oak Park

Jay will be offering a Dharma talk, “Right Resistance: Dharma in the Age of Trump,” at the Oak Park Mindful Reflection Community.

The Mindful Reflection Community is committed to exploring the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, the awakened one, known as the Buddha, from a secular/liberal/modern viewpoint. Those who resonate with a more traditional perspective are equally welcome and encouraged to speak honestly from their perspective.
