Agents of Peace and Change — Dōshin Mako Voelkel — Dharma Talk at Beginner's Mind Temple
This talk was given at Beginner’s Mind Temple by Abiding Abbot Dōshin Mako Voelkel. Mako discusses her January 2026 visit to Minneapolis with MARCH (Multifaith Antiracism, Change & Healing). In times of fear and violence, how does our practice teach us to pay attention to the body and access an appropriate response from a ground of presence and equanimity? Bringing in examples from the Civil Rights Movement and her time in Minneapolis, Abbot Mako encourages persistence in non-violent action and joyful community building: both important demonstrations of our interconnectedness with all beings and engagement from our Bodhisattva Vow.
