The World Cannot Be Broken: Looking for shelter and discovering wonder in the lives we have

by D Allen

Overview

We live in a world that feels broken. Millions of refugees, failing states, shaky economies, wars, pandemics and a rapidly changing climate leave us feeling insecure, uncertain and doubtful of finding stability and happiness. This is our world now, along with the sickness, old age and death that have always been with us. This book offers a friendly companion to accompany us step by step as we seek shelter and a path to meet these crises. Along this path we discover the wonders in the life we already have: because the world shines and sings for us every moment we are available to it, and each of us feels its wholeness and its fundamental integrity when we're here with an open and questioning attention.

In 1971 he had his first taste of zen meditation and koans and continued that daily menu even as the menus and even the cuisines kept changing. D leads sessions and retreats at Oaxaca Zen in Oaxaca, Mexico, and in California where in the past he also taught meditation in hospitals.
