Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Sairam Sisters and Brothers, We continue to listen from Andrè L. Delbecq, Director - Institute for Spirituality and Organisation Leadership, J. Thomas and Kathleen L. McCarthy University Professor, Santa Clara University, Alameda, CA, USA. --- "I particularly recall a professor who teaches the Holocaust, Apartheid, and American slavery. She includes all three tragic human stories in one course because she found that if she taught just one instance of great human evil individuals would say, "Look what you've done to us/them." But if she taught the great tragedies together people came to understand that all cultures have histories of human evil. She also discovered that the study of these tragedies left students either with unresolved bitterness or anger. Meditation became essential to absorb these sorrows without disequilibrium." © Global Dharma Center 2004 www.globaldharma.org/sbl-home.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
