Should I run for office? Or meditate in a cave for 12 years? Or start a community farm? Or invest in outer space exploration so we have someplace to live when the planet dies? Should I quit my job and become a civil rights attorney … or a full time activist?

At Buddhist Peace Fellowship, we’ve been exploring these questions through BLOCK | BUILD | BE, a framework describing the essential qualities for true social and spiritual transformation.

Block: resisting harm and injustice

Build: cultivating relationships, communities, and new structures

Be: contemplative practices for resilience and liberation

There is no single correct role to play— contrary to the judgmental mindset we’ve inherited from capitalism. It takes many of us— all of us!— in all of our multi-dimensionality, to achieve collective liberation.

Just as ecosystems thrive on diversity of life forms, so do our social movements require multiple roles. What’s your role??

Strengthen Your Practice and Activism

What does it take to enact true transformation of the world around us? We’ll be joined by special guest speakers talking about:

• How to do what you do best, and trusting that other needs will be met.
• Letting go of doing everything, and inviting others to join the collective effort.
• Being less judgemental and more collaborative with those who focus on a different role.
• Interweaving spiritual practice with community building and direct action.
• Examples of how leaders sustain themselves in social and environmental movements.
• How to be more effective AND less burned out by balancing Block, Build, and Be in your life.
