Informed by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Dave and I discuss intersections between contemplative practice, politics, social engagement, mental health, breaking down the distinction between sacred and mundane, and different strategies for taking care of ourselves and others in times of trouble.

May everyone abide in well-being, in freedom from hostility, in freedom from ill-will, in freedom from anxiety, and may they maintain well-being in themselves. May all beings be released from all suffering.
