Why do we see very few people from minorities in #meditation circles? Is #zazen a white upper middle class-only activity?

I don’t think so. But because #capitalism makes life so hard for those minorities, they aren’t granted the chance to participate in those meditation sessions, as they have other, more urgent, things to struggle with in the first place.

Therefore, as a monk, vowing to liberate all sentient beings means to offer equal opportunities to everyone to practice #zen and this can’t be achieved under capitalism. Only an #anarchist society, where both #liberty and #equality are guaranteed, can allow that.
