Melbourne Indy Media
Augusto Alcalde is a committed social activist and participates in struggles for social justice, including those of indigenous peoples.
When visiting Australia, he often gives talks (1,2,3) and coordinates encounters on these struggles and their inspiration, and on current social justice and freedom movements in Argentina, particularly the MTD Solano (Autonomous Workers Movement). In these meetings, Augusto seeks to address the creation of a new world with healthy values and actions in all fields of relationship. In an interview in Jan 2004 he briefly outlined the connections between Zen, The Religious, Social Change and Activism.
Alcalde has been deeply involved in Zen practice for over thirty years and is an acknowledged teacher in both Chinese and Japanese Zen Buddhism. He brings a particularly creative approach to Zen teaching and is concerned with the development of a form of Zen practice appropriate to lay people, as an alternative to the monastic model that has evolved in traditional Asian societies. For ten years Alcalde has been a teacher with Clifton Hill Zendo and will participate in a zen program in January 2005.
