The punks see through the lies of society \u0026 the oppressive dictates of modern consumer culture. Very few punks though seem to take it further \u0026 attempt to understand the causes \u0026 conditions of the suffering \u0026 falsehoods, unfortunately punks rarely come around to seeing that there is actually a solution \u0026 a path to personal freedom. My own life's experience w/ both Dharma practice \u0026 punk rock inspired me to try to bridge the gap between the two. I've tried to help point out the similarities, while also acknowledging the differences, \u0026 to show those of my generation who are interested that they can practice meditation \u0026 find there the freedom we have been seeking in our rebellion against the system.","author":"Noah Levine","tags":["alternative-rock","buddhism","freedom","punk-rock","revolution","rock"],"id":204867,"author_id":"Noah+Levine"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":2,"pages":1}}
