Francesca opens the session by asking Jack to elucidate how anti-racism connects with the life and teachings of the Buddha. Inviting us all to settle in with a breath, Jack recalls asking his great meditation master, “What is the dharma?” His teacher responded, “The dharma is the heart; how we tend it, how we connect with the heart of others.” Through this lens, Francesca and Jack begin to interweave and apply ancient Buddhist solutions for modern issues of social justice.
