188 - What Does Practice Look Like When Your Country Is Broken?
When our country - or global community - is broken, how do we practice?

Our first responses are usually anger, fear, judgment, and an effort to assign blame. Then may come a desire to check out - to ignore what's happening because we feel powerless to do anything about it. I discuss how our Buddhist practice can help us remain open, strong, and responsive.
