Dhamma Wheel Buddhist Forum

Hi,
I'm listening to some talks (on Dharmaseed) by Arinna Weisman (on chronic pain) and was wondering if anyone here knows anything about her. Her website's pretty good (practices in the Burmese U Ba Khin/S. Goenka/Webu Sayadaw tradition/lineage).

Seems pretty solid except when she talks of "Taking a stand for love," I'm not sure what she means? I think she means metta, which makes some sense, but she also might mean "accepting", etc....

Best,
Daniel

Hello daniel,

She studied with Ruth Denison and many other teachers in the Buddhist tradition and her spiritual practice includes work with Native American Elders. She is working toward a multicultural and gender-inclusive expression of the Dhamma and teaches throughout the United States. She is affiliated with Spirit Rock Meditation Center, and leads many retreats for lesbian, gay and transgendered Buddhists.
