Get ready for some Zen! Janel and Ryan chat with Dr. Lisa Pettitt on this timely episode channeling the late Thich Nhat Hanh's Engaged Buddhism on the 194th BT pod! Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh was a Vietnamese Buddhist monk. He founded the ENGAGED BUDDHISM movement including the School of Youth and Social Service, a grassroots relief organization of 10,000 volunteers based on the Buddhist principles of non-violence and compassionate action.
“In engaged action, you don’t have to die to get your message across. We have to remember that even if our protest is very strong, protesting may not be able to remove the fear, the anger, and the craving in those we are protesting against. Real protest is to help them wake up and take up a new direction. To do that is real action. We can do it by setting an example. You create a community of peace and true solidarity. You consume in a way that protects the planet. You speak and listen in a way that transforms anger and division. You live simply and yet you are happy. This is a radical way of peace making. You embody good health for yourself and for the world and live in such a way that proves a future can be possible.”
