Meeting the Moment and MLK, Jr.

01/13/2024
01/13/2024, Sozan Michael McCord, dharma talk at City Center.
In this talk, given at Beginner's Mind Temple on the weekend before Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, Sozan Michael McCord unpacks many life events from this historic civil rights icon and looks at how he could have had a much more comfortable life at many turns, but instead chose the path that the times were calling for. In the Buddhist path, we are met every day with many small choices that no one will every know about—whether to say something, whether to do something, to move forward or withhold—and only our internal awareness usually is privy to this information. Are we concerned with status, reputation, ego, or simply avoiding personal bother and by this not actually meeting what the moment is asking of us?
