For our first full episode of 2018 we tackle a listener question about Buddhism and social justice, jumping off from the tension between accepting things as they are and the urge to stand up to inequality and social suffering. Of course, it wouldn\u2019t be us if we didn\u2019t unpack those terms and dig deep into the question \u2014 isn\u2019t the point of Buddhism not to accept<\/em> the world as it is but to see<\/em> the world as it is, from the point of view of compassionate wisdom? And does merely accepting things as they are, and not acting, necessarily follow from this seeing? And it wouldn\u2019t really be us if we didn\u2019t somehow manage to get sci-fi back into this by dragging Ursula K. Le Guin<\/a> into the conversation.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for a second episode later this month!<\/p>\n
