INTERBEING CALLS US TO RESPOND
As in Gaza entire families have been and continue to be erased, hospitals are being bombed, paramedics have been executed in cold blood, respected doctors are being incarcerated and civilians are being starved under siege, we wonder how it is possible that the Buddhist community stays so deafeningly silent?As Buddhist practitioners we believe the Dharma calls us to stand for justice, compassion, and ethical action. We would like to explore together this silence within Buddhist communities and invite you to reflect, engage, and take meaningful action.Join us on this path — not in fear, but in commitment to awakening in a world that urgently needs it.
The fourth edition of Liberation Circle Live will take place on October 27
Collective Liberation
Liberation Circle
Liberation Circle is an initiative founded by Buddhist practitioners Dorine Esser and Joyce Cordus, together with Dirk Wolbers, founder of the online meditation platform 30NOW.
We believe that true practice extends beyond the cushion and into the world.
As Buddhists, we take refuge in wisdom, compassion, and ethical action. Thus, in the face of the unimaginable suffering in Gaza and the West Bank, we ask:
Why is the Buddhist world so silent?
Liberation Circle
Our Statement
To understand where we’re coming from, we invite you to read our Statement on Buddhism and Justice, published on 22 October 2024: Voice of Buddhism
This first statement expressed our deep concern about the silence within Buddhist communities regarding global oppression, particularly the unfolding genocide in Gaza.
Still, too many remain silent.
Liberation Circle
The Problem With This Silence
As in Gaza entire families are erased, hospitals bombed, and civilians starved under siege, it is impossible to claim that silence is neutral – it is disingenuous. We believe that we are not impartial, instead we're allowing harm to continue unchecked.
As Buddhist practitioners, we must ask: What are we truly embodying? Are we living by the principles of wisdom, compassion, ethical conduct and justice—or are we retreating into passivity?
To truly uphold the Dharma in today’s world, we must confront these difficult questions.
Source: Thich Nhat Hanh, Q&A in Colorado, USA. Full recording on YouTube
Reaffirming Our Values – If we believe in wisdom, compassion, and justice, we must stand by these principles in the real world.
Grounding Our Response in the Teachings – Buddhist scriptures are full of examples where truth is spoken against injustice.
Overcoming Fear of Engagement – Many practitioners avoid taking a stand, fearing it contradicts equanimity. But wisdom is not passivity—it means knowing when to act.
Challenging Inconsistency – Buddhist communities have spoken out for Ukraine, Myanmar, Sudan. Why is Palestine considered "too complex"?
Recognizing Complicity – Western Buddhist communities exist within societies that directly fund and support Israel’s military occupation and war crimes. If we remain passive, we endorse this reality.
Turning Toward Discomfort – If we avoid difficult conversations, how can we truly grow in awareness? Awakening also means facing what is unpleasant, not avoiding it or retreating into comfort.
Standing for Peace Without Justifying Oppression – As Gabor Maté, a Jewish physician and teacher, has powerfully stated: past suffering does not justify the infliction of suffering upon others. We must hold all beings in compassion while saying no to harm.
Liberation Circle
Free Palestine
At Liberation Circle, we believe that the struggle for freedom and justice in Palestine symbolizes the broader action against oppression and imperialism worldwide. The call to “Free Palestine” resonates as a powerful expression of resistance, compassion and solidarity.It reminds us that we are all interconnected — as human beings and through our shared quest for liberation — and that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
By embracing this ethos, we move beyond mere support and embody a collective commitment to challenge systemic inequities.
The phrase “we are all Palestinians” encapsulates an ethos of radical solidarity and compassion —recognising that the Palestinian cause is not just a distant issue but a nearby and shared struggle against the structures that perpetuate inequality, white supremacy and colonial attitude globally.Liberation Circle encourages participants – and Buddhists in particular – to internalize this solidarity and compassion, transforming it from a metaphor into meaningful action. Through meditation and mindful practices, we cultivate the inner awareness necessary to recognize, acknowledge, confront and dismantle the underlying logic of oppression, fostering a community dedicated to justice and collective liberation.
Liberation Circle
Our Proposed Actions
So, because we think that silence or inaction is not an option, we would like to invite you to engage with us in the following:
Our Live Online Dharma Talks – Sessions with Buddhist teachers and activists on justice, ethical action, and engaged Buddhism.
Live Community (online) Dialogues – Open discussions on how we, as Buddhist practitioners, can respond to genocide, occupation, and systemic injustice.
Raising Awareness – Sharing resources, Buddhist texts, and meditations that support activism and social justice.
Engaged Action – Encouraging local sanghas and teachers to take meaningful steps in their communities.
Our goal is to explore and uncover together why so many people in the Buddhist world remain silent and do not speak openly about the ongoing genocide. In doing so, we also encourage individuals to raise their voices independently, wherever they are in the world.

Ajahn Santamano is a Theravada monk ordained in the Thai forest tradition. He ordained at Amaravati Buddhist Monastery. In June 2023 he left that tradition wishing to speak more openly about Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Kashmir and other struggles for justice, and in support of Bhikkhuni Ordination, gender equality in Buddhism, inclusion for people of colour, inclusion for LGBTQI+ practioners and other social issues. He is now an independent wandering monastic.Ajahn Santamano spent several months in the West Bank as a human shield. He speaks openly about what he witnessed in the West Bank, the Palestinians’ extraordinary generosity alongside the brutal hardships they endure at the hands of settlers backed by the Israeli army.

Buddhist Teachings on Speaking Truth to Injustice
Assalayana Sutta (MN 93) – In this discourse, the Buddha directly challenges the Brahmanical caste system, which claimed that Brahmins were inherently superior by birth. A Brahmin scholar, Assalayana, insists that the caste system is divinely ordained and that Brahmins are purer than other social classes. The Buddha systematically dismantles this belief, arguing that all people—regardless of caste—experience the same human realities of birth, aging, sickness, and death. He emphasizes that virtue, wisdom, and ethical conduct—not birth—determine a person’s worth. This teaching was radical in a deeply hierarchical society, making it one of the most powerful Buddhist statements against social injustice and systemic discrimination.
Cakkavatti-Sihanada Sutta (DN 26) – This discourse presents a prophetic vision of how societies deteriorate when leaders fail to uphold justice and care for their people. The Buddha describes a cycle where rulers neglect the poor, leading to widespread poverty, desperation, and crime. In response, rulers impose harsh punishments rather than addressing the root causes of suffering. This, in turn, breeds greater injustice and societal collapse. The sutta conveys a stark warning that social stability depends on economic justice, ethical governance, and compassion. The Buddha asserts that true leadership is not about power and punishment but about fostering well-being for all. This remains an enduring critique of structural inequality and exploitative political systems.
Angulimala Sutta (MN 86) – This powerful narrative tells the story of Angulimala, a notorious bandit who had murdered hundreds of people and wore a garland of severed fingers as a symbol of his brutality. As he seeks to kill again, the Buddha encounters him and, without physical resistance, confronts him with a simple but profound truth: “I have already stopped, Angulimala. When will you stop?” This cryptic statement leads Angulimala to realize that true strength lies not in violence but in inner transformation. He renounces his past, becomes a monk, and attains enlightenment. The sutta is a potent example of the Buddhist rejection of revenge and capital punishment, showing that even those who have committed severe wrongdoing can transform through wisdom and compassion. It challenges contemporary notions of justice, emphasizing rehabilitation over retribution.
Kosala Samyutta (SN 3.1-3.5) – King Pasenadi of Kosala, one of the most powerful rulers of the time, frequently sought the Buddha’s counsel. In one conversation, Pasenadi expresses his belief that military strength and political power ensure stability. The Buddha challenges this view, explaining that genuine authority arises from moral integrity and just governance. He teaches that a ruler who governs with righteousness, fairness, and care for the people will have a lasting legacy, whereas one who rules with greed and cruelty will eventually fall. This teaching speaks directly to modern political systems, reinforcing the idea that sustainable leadership is grounded in ethical responsibility rather than force and control.
Vinaya Pitaka (Devadatta’s Rebellion) – Devadatta, a former disciple of the Buddha, attempted to overthrow him and take control of the monastic community (Sangha). Devadatta sought to manipulate the teachings to gain power and influence, even going so far as to incite divisions and attempt to assassinate the Buddha. The Buddha firmly rejected Devadatta’s actions and teachings, emphasizing that spiritual communities must guard against corruption, power struggles, and the dangers of charismatic leaders who seek control rather than liberation. This episode demonstrates that Buddhism does not advocate blind obedience but calls for critical discernment, transparency, and the rejection of exploitative leadership—even within spiritual institutions.
Conclusion:
These powerful references illustrate how Buddhist teachings consistently advocate for truth, justice, and ethical leadership. Whether challenging systemic oppression, critiquing unjust rulers, or resisting corruption, the Buddha’s words offer a profound framework for confronting injustice with wisdom and compassion. These texts remain relevant today, inspiring ethical action in the face of inequality, violence, and exploitation.
Ethical Commitment
Introduction
As Buddhist practitioners, we tend to adopt a non-judgemental attitude. A compassionate view of humanity. But how should we then relate to current global problems? Can we possibly remain neutral while an entire population in Gaza is being starved and annihilated in plain sight? Many of us are struggling with that question. Isn’t neutrality a silent endorsement of the genocide taking place there? Yes, in our view it is. Silence in face of oppression is not a neutral stance – it is a form of complicity.The Dharma teaches us to reduce suffering, to cultivate compassion, and to speak truthfully. But what happens when suffering is systematically ignored, and compassion is extended only selectively?More and more practitioners are discovering that core ethical values – which many assumed were universally shared – are in fact not held by everyone, also within Dharma spaces. This includes acknowledging the ongoing genocide and occupation of the Palestinian people, carried out by the Israeli state and military, and supported by most Western governments.
With the Ethical Statement, we call on all Dharma practitioners and especially teachers and sanghas who resonate with these principles to actively embrace, adapt, and spread them.
We urge every teacher and sangha to formally sign the Ethical Commitment and stand with us in giving these values a clear and public voice.
As a practitioner or teacher, you can use the Ethical Commitment to clearly express your ethical stance and spark meaningful dialogue within your sangha.
As a sangha or teacher, you can reflect deeply on your collective position and choose to publicly stand behind this Ethical Commitment.
Liberation Circle offers visibility to sanghas and teachers that affirm these values by listing them as part of a shared, engaged Dharma network.
Ethical Commitment
We call on all Dharma practitioners and especially teachers and sanghas who align with these principles to actively embrace, adapt, and share them.
We urge every teacher and sangha to formally sign this Ethical Commitment and stand with us in giving these values a clear and public voice.
- Published on July 2025 -
1. Compassion Means All Beings
The first principle of the Dharma is ahimsa – non-harming. We affirm the dignity, safety, and freedom of all beings, across race, class, gender, sexuality, religion, and ability. Selective compassion is not true compassion. We commit to practices and communities that include those at the margins – not just those at the center.
2. Liberation is Collective
The Buddha taught interdependence (paṭiccasamuppāda): we are not free unless all beings are free. Structural injustice and systemic violence bind all of us. We recognize that personal liberation is inseparable from social and political liberation.
3. Silence is not Neutral
In the face of injustice, silence does not preserve peace – it preserves power.Not naming the aggressor in a context of asymmetrical violence distorts reality. It protects the violent and erases the violated. In the case of Palestine, language that vaguely refers to a “conflict” while avoiding the naming of Israel as the occupying and attacking force, contributes to the normalization of genocide.From the perspective of Dharma ethics, this is a failure of:
- Sacca – truthfulness
- Karuṇā – compassion
- Sammā vāca – right speechWe therefore assert:
It is ethically and spiritually unacceptable to remain silent or vague when people are being killed, displaced, and erased. As Dharma practitioners, we must learn to speak from the heart and from reality – even when that truth is painful or unpopular.
Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us:
“…I am determined not to kill, not to let others kill, and not to condone any act of killing in the world, in my thinking, and in my way of life.” We cannot support any act of killing; no killing can be justified. But not to kill is not enough. We must also learn ways to prevent others from killing. We cannot say, “I am not responsible. They did it. My hands are clean.” If you were in Germany during the time of the Nazis, you could not say, “They did it. I did not.” If, during the Gulf War, you did not say or do anything to try to stop the killing, you were not practicing this precept. Even if what you said or did failed to stop the war, what is important is that you tried, using your insight and compassion.
— For a Future to Be Possible: Commentaries on the Five Wonderful Precepts (1993)Further Reading and Reflection
For those who wish to explore more deeply the questions around silence within the Buddhist world regarding Gaza, Liberation Circle has compiled a selection of recommended articles and essays.
You can find them at Recommended ReadsPractices to Break Silence and See Through Its Roots
Silence often grows from fear, a wish to belong, or the hope that suffering will resolve without our voice. In mindful contemplation we can ask: What am I protecting by not speaking? Let the feelings surface and soften. Practices such as tonglen—breathing in fear and breathing out courage—and metta—sending kindness to those silenced and to ourselves—help us see that our voice is part of a larger web of care. Through this awareness of interconnectedness, breaking silence becomes not only a personal act but a contribution to collective healing.
When We Speak Out
To speak is to act. In times of genocide and systemic erasure, words can interrupt violence, awaken conscience, and restore dignity.
To speak truthfully is to practice right speech.
To speak from the heart is to embody compassion.
To speak against killing is to uphold non-harming.
Silence isolates. Speech connects. When we speak out, we say:
We see you.
Your lives matter.
We will not look away.
This is the Dharma in action. This is how we protect life.
4. We Stand with the Palestinian People
We explicitly recognize the systematic oppression, apartheid, displacement, and large-scale killing of Palestinians by the Israeli state and military.We name this as genocide – consistent with legal, historical and ethical analyses by human rights organizations and survivors.We name Israel as the aggressor, and reject the framing of this as a symmetrical or “complex” conflict. While violence on all sides must be mourned, moral clarity requires naming disproportionate power and harm.To stand for all beings, we must not turn away from one of the clearest, most documented examples of state violence in our time.
5. The Dharma Must Speak
Right speech (sammā vāca) is not just about avoiding harm – it is about speaking wisely, truthfully, and when necessary. In the tradition of Engaged Buddhism, as practiced by Thich Nhat Hanh and others, we understand the Dharma as a living, breathing response to suffering.In times of war, displacement, and genocide, the Dharma must speak. It must align with the vulnerable.To remain silent in such moments is not wisdom. It is fear, privilege, or avoidance disguised as neutrality.
6. Accountability is Practice
We will make mistakes. We are still learning. But we commit to staying in dialogue, being open to feedback, and repairing harm when we cause it. Ethical living is not perfection – it is willingness to grow in courage, awareness and compassion.
