Please join me as I travel to Israel-Palestine for my 3rd visit. My husband, Bob, and I will leave the US on 5/20, and while he will stay for a month, I will be in the region for 2 weeks. I’m looking forward to visiting old friends, developing new friendships and being once again in this powerful, beautiful and complicated part of the world. I am particularly delighted to be planning visits with Buddhists in the region: Dhamma leaders and scholars– And, I’ve been invited to speak about Buddhism to a class at a Palestinian girl’s high school in East Jerusalem.

Sally Bowden-Schaible is a psychotherapist, educator, human rights advocate, and Buddhist student/practitioner. (www.sallybowden-schaible.org) As a human rights advocate, I am informed by the core teachings of the Buddha which emphasize wise understanding, ethical living and compassionate being-in-the-world as means to the ending of suffering. I view social action through human rights advocacy as an integral part of my spiritual practice. For the past nearly two decades my focus has been on promoting full human rights for all people in Israel-Palestine. I have traveled to Israel and the West Bank of Palestine several times and have developed friendships with both Palestinians and Israeli Jews. I have seen firsthand, and felt the effects of, Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian Territories. I am founder, coordinator, and blog curator of Buddhist Alliance for Non-Violence and Human Rights in Israel-Palestine (BANVAHR) www.banvahr.org. View all posts by sallybs
