I first picked up Robert Aitken’s slim book “Taking the Path of #Zen” as a student just starting my sitting practice, some thirty-one years ago. It feels as clear and as generous now as it did the day I came to it. I hope you find it useful. https://nnty.fun/downloads/books/TAEL/SELF%20IMPROVEMENT/MEDITATION/CONTEMPLATIVE%20MEDITATION/ZAZEN/INTERMEDIATE/Taking%20the%20Path%20of%20Zen%20-%20Robert%20Aitken%20%281982%29.pdf

"Oppression is never justified and it is not destined. When those with power oppress others, this injustice should be resisted and transformed. The changing nature of life’s circumstances is not an excuse to avoid actively responding to and disrupting social injustice, to sidestep our responsibility to speak up.

When we can do something to change things, we must."
