80 Engaging in the Bodhisattva's Deeds: Averting the Causes of War 02-24-22

Venerable Thubten Chodron gives the Sravasti Abbey community in Winter Retreat an update and background about the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began on February 23, 2022. She encourages us to examine how we relate to power and the things we are attached to, which fuel our conflicts on the interpersonal level. She then reviews verses 3 and 4 of Shantideva's "Engaging in a Bodhisattva's Deeds."
