About this listen

 In a moment when the news feels relentless and outrage is often treated as a moral obligation, Amanda reflects on what meditation is really for. Is sitting quietly a form of disengagement, or a way of learning how to respond without making things worse? Drawing on Zen practice, Buddhist history, and her own experience of trauma, activism, and family life, Amanda explores the false choice between rage and withdrawal, and makes the case for tending the quality of our own minds as a prerequisite for meaningful engagement. In a world on fire, this is an argument for care, clarity, and action that doesn’t multiply harm. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
