As Dharma practitioners, we cannot separate ourselves from the sociopolitical world that affects almost every aspect of our lives and the lives of others. However, does the world of Dharma practice need to address the issues that arise from living in a highly politicised environment? Or should we rather devote ourselves solely to the goal of liberation, thus insulating ourselves from the sociopolitical?
In this online session, John Peacock will address these and other questions related to the ethics of living in the contemporary sociopolitical world, and the challenges we face as Dharma practitioners.
A recording of this event will be available afterwards for those registered (see comments on language below).
