Wake Up London Sangha's Meditation Flash Mob in Trafalgar Square, London, England
Joining Occupy Los Angeles' ongoing occupation, Refund California's "Make Banks Pay" bank sit-ins, and other group's actions this weekend will be Against the Stream Buddhist Meditation Society's peaceful flash mob meditation in Pershing Square, downtown LA, from 12:00-12:30 pm.
Riot police may look unkindly on peaceniks bringing love and flowers into the eye of the storm. So, instead, a bunch of people full of tattoos, wearing black, with shaved heads and a rebellious streak in evidence will be going against the stream with a "sit-in" public meditation.
What does flash mob hope to accomplish? Just sitting. Just making a statement that peace amidst turmoil is possible. Meditation is a choice. It is easy to rant, march, and be provoked by police. It's not as easy to sit still and bring the mind into view: Is it leading to good or ill?- FLYER with details
