Is our practice of kindness and compassion just to become better individuals? Or can it play an active role in building a world that is inclusive, just, and caring? As this practice transforms our minds, can it also destabilise the oppressive systems and structures? Join us for this dialogue with Ven Tashi Choedup to explore how our inner world and the outer world rely on each other in a transformational journey.
