How do we maintain a wise heart and engage in acts of loving kindness during these turbulent times? Join Venerable Dhammananda Bikkhuni in conversation with hosts Trudy Goodman and Cindy Rasicot as Dhammananda reflects on her response to the COVID pandemic, thoughts about feminism, concerns for the environment, and hopes for the future.
Topics that Venerable Dhammananda Bikkkuni will cover:
- The very first case of COVID came from your province. Can you comment on how you responded to the needs of the people in your community, and how people can get
involved? - Feminists talk about the importance of women’s equality, but when it comes to the notion of equality within Buddhism, you interpret it somewhat differently. Can you talk about
that?
