Zen Priest Joan Halifax on How Catastrophic Events Develop Compassion
Buddhist teacher, Zen priest and anthropologist Joan Halifax, PhD came to Bodhi Tree in 1994 to discuss writing The Fruitful Darkness: Reconnecting with the Body of the Earth. A pioneer in the field of end-of-life care, Halifax describes the encounters—from Japanese Zen meditation to the Dogon people of Mali—that led her to discover “the interconnectedness of all life.” Here, she describes how a research project using LSD while working with cancer patients helped her experience a rite of passage that brought her to this book’s theme: how catastrophes are, in effect, sacred events that allow us to develop strength and compassion.
