Intersection of Dhamma & Race: Insights in an Unjust World

This is the third in our ongoing “Intersections of Dhamma and Race” podcast series. At this time of increased tensions, there is a sore need for personal reflection and introspection, deep and active listening of “the other”, and communication across all boundaries and communities. And when we do this based firmly on the bedrock of the Buddha’s timeliness teachings of liberation, the possibility of living through these difficult days together, while advancing on the Path, converge.

On this episode, we are treated to a reflective and introspective look at how Black practitioners have applied Dhamma wisdom through the pain of racism and prejudice. The guests include:

·     Bhante Panna on the experience of being a Black monk in Cambodia and Thailand.

·     Tricea Dawkins on starting up a meditation practice while being a medical worker on the front lines of the pandemic.

·     Esly Caldwell on the wisdom of karma and the power of metta at a time of racial strife and ongoing protests.

·     AB Johanne on how vipassana meditation helped her develop compassion and awareness.

·     Keven Porter on how a daily meditation practice has changed his life, and the intersection between economics and race.
