How Are You Dealing with these Difficult Times? We Want Your Story

From Shambhala Sun, a request.

How Are You Dealing with these Difficult Times? We Want Your Story

Are you worried about your job, your family’s security, or just how bad the world looks right now? Has the current economic crisis already affected you, or are you afraid it will? We’d like to hear your story about how you are using or have used your Buddhist practice to work with challenges like these.

The Shambhala Sun is assembling a book anthology offering Buddhist Wisdom for Difficult Times. In it, we’d like to include practitioners’ personal stories about how they are using Buddhist insight and practice to help them deal with the effects of economic difficulty on themselves and their families. Or perhaps in the past you’ve dealt with things like losing your job or having a business in trouble, and feel your experience would be helpful to people facing similar problems now.

Please send us your own story about using Buddhism to help you deal with times of economic difficulty and social instability. By doing that, you’ll help others who are on this journey too. Stories should be written in the first person and be 200-600 words in length. They will be published anonymously and a small honorarium will be paid for the stories selected. Send your submission by March 15 to editor@shambhalasun.com. Thank you, on behalf of all readers who will benefit from your experience.
