Joseph Campbell lived and taught a mighty “yea” to life, taking hold of life as it is – not what you think life should be, could be, might be, will be, but what it is. One of his favorite Buddhist sayings in this regard was the seemingly contradictory phrase “Joyful participation in the sorrows of the world.” This service will investigate both the nature of the “sorrows of the world” and what it means to participate in those sorrows with joy.

Text for the November 9th Sermon.

This is a follow-up to the October 12 service titled “Masks of God.”
