In Buddhism, we strive to see the world with Right View, seeing things as they are, not how we want to see them or want others to see them. Join us as we delve into the Burn Order podcast, “how an executive order authorizing the roundup of innocent Americans came to be”, with a chance to learn each others’ perspectives (with awareness of the lenses we all have as humans) and increase awareness of the causes and conditions that have brought us where we are today.
