In this Wednesday night Dharma Talk Monshin Nannette Overley speaks of the ‘Stonecatcher’ Bodhisattva. A story of a woman spoken about in Bryan Stevenson’s book, ‘Just Mercy’, who lost her grandchild to gun violence and chose to live her life supporting others. She catches the stones people throw at one another. Monshin looks at this story to reveal how we can transform our own personal traumas and suffering in order to support others. Ultimately, the secret of resilience is not to keep the stones, or put them in our bags, but rather, to let them go.
