This week, Soryu Forall answers a series of questions someone asked him recently, beginning with, “How can meditation possibly save the world?” For many people in the modern world, it’s hard to believe that meditation or monastic training could be a powerful and appropriate response to the existential risks humans face today. Without denying the importance of activism and other solutions based in the physical world, Soryu explains how dealing with our individual and collective delusions is necessary to resolve the root cause of these crises.
