Alcio Braz: Dharma, Hyper Colonization, and Community

Can the Dharma really flourish in our own lands if it does not become native?  This is the guiding question to Alcio Braz’s Wednesday night Dharma talk. By discussing his rich ancestry, spiritual practice, and life, he emphasizes the importance of not allowing ‘… another layer of colonization …’ into a practice of liberation. The joyful, loving practice of Dharma allows us to ‘… find ourselves and recognize our differences, together…Loving-kindness has taught us that the dream is not over …’ we practice in order to care for each other, that’s the primary message of Zen. Zazen is care.
