In this episode of the Peacemakers Podcast, Zen teacher Nancy Mujo Baker invites us to encounter the Buddhist precepts as living manifestations of oneness. Through stories and deep insight, we explore:
• Non-killing, non-stealing, non-lying as intimate acts of connection
• Exposing delusion without shame
• Walking hand in hand with sorrow
• Letting go of self-protection
This conversation explores the natural functioning of a heart that is not divided by confusion, care, and contradiction.

The Earth is the ground of our shared existence.
Stewardship starts with attention —
to our choices,
our impact,
our daily lives.
We are not separate from the planet.
Join us in caring for the world that cares for us.

Bernie Glassman was a Zen Master, teacher, author, and founder of Zen Peacemakers.
A leading voice in the American Zen movement, he dedicated decades to socially engaged Buddhism and developed the Bearing Witness Retreat model.
His work grounded spiritual practice in real-world action — bringing the Three Tenets to life.
We continue this path.

Racial equity requires honest reckoning
Of harm.
Of history.
Of how racial violence and separation still shapes our lives.
Listening is where repair begins.
We center lived experience.
We name injustice clearly.
We act to heal both systems and relationships.
This work is not finished.
It is essential.
Together, we move toward liberation.

We are excited to have renowned translator Bill Porter/Red Pine as our guest for our Peacemaker Circle this Wednesday, October 7th. Bill has introduced generations of English-language readers to Chinese poetry, Buddhist scripture, Daoist classics, and the living traditions of Chinese hermits and other mountain poets whose words have traveled across time.

“Whenever I translate the poems or the works of somebody, I go to where they lived. I visit their graves, I visit the mountains they lived on, look at the rivers that they traveled—to get a sense for the situation that they saw every day.”

Join us!

Actor, activist, and Zen priest Peter Coyote joins the Peacemakers Podcast for a direct and courageous exploration of this political moment. Drawing from decades of spiritual practice and civic engagement, he traces the arc from the aspirations of the 1960s to the strategic realities shaping today’s political and economic systems.
This is not a conversation about withdrawing from the world. It is about entering it fully. About listening without collapsing into judgment. About standing in uncertainty without losing clarity.
The Three Tenets are not abstract teachings. They are living tools for these times.

Listen now.
How do we practice in the middle of history as it unfolds?
