I want to be able to transform oppression rather than cut it out like a cancer.

1
00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:02.996
The contemplative has
expanded my awareness

2
00:00:03.021 --> 00:00:07.458
and thus it expanded
the empathy that I have.

3
00:00:07.483 --> 00:00:11.109
Five years ago,
if I had been able to round up

4
00:00:11.134 --> 00:00:13.283
all the oppressors on the planet

5
00:00:13.308 --> 00:00:15.916
and all the perpetrators
of violence on the planet

6
00:00:15.941 --> 00:00:18.792
and put them on an island
and dropped a nuclear bomb

7
00:00:18.817 --> 00:00:21.240
and eradicated all of
them, I would have thought

8
00:00:21.265 --> 00:00:24.809
that would be a good
thing for humanity.

9
00:00:24.834 --> 00:00:32.079
And the contemplative has given
me a heart even for the oppressor.

10
00:00:32.104 --> 00:00:35.510
I want to be able to transform

11
00:00:35.535 --> 00:00:38.998
oppression rather than
cut it out like a cancer.

12
00:00:39.023 --> 00:00:46.408
I want that even the perpetrators of violence
and oppression be transformed

13
00:00:46.455 --> 00:00:52.007
because they are a part of
the wholeness of all humanity.
