In this episode we look at the political, environmental, and societal upheaval that took place in the United States and around the world in relationship to the Buddha’s invitation to use the stress in our lives as a gateway to freedom. In this talk we clarify what the Buddha really meant by the ‘acceptance’ of suffering and how the universality of the fickleness and unpredictable nature of our world must first be honored before it can be used as a vehicle for transcendence.
