Kucinich interviewed in Tricycle
Great DK quote:


The moment that any of us begins to trade principle for approval we give up our power.

Enjoy!

3. Dennis is STILL the MAN
He will make an excellent president one day.

Another favorite from the article:


Did the experience of losing your bid for a second term as mayor of Cleveland in 1979, which you've talked about as your dark night of the soul, prepare you for the work you're doing now?

Of course. There's a type of freedom that occurs when everything that you've believed in and worked for is shattered, because then you have the opportunity to rebuild and to put yourself back together in a new way. If you experience a deep loss, it is possible to come to the point where you realize that you have nothing left to lose. If you have nothing to lose, you can get beyond ideas of loss and gain. Attachment to outcome can deprive us of our best opportunities.

7. All Buddhists..........
advocates non-attachment which we see as a clinging to pride and greed & ego. Dk was a young upsatrt......when he lost his Mayorship
(as difficult as it was) he grew as a man and as a human to what he is today.

Namaste

4. Let's hear it for the Buddhist media!!
Of course, you should hear the tempests in teapots when the mahayanists go after the theravadans and the zenners go after the vajrayanists :-).
