Summary: On the heels of the meaningful Sakhyadita International Conference on Buddhist Women, Roshi Joan Halifax explores integrity, and when integrity is violated, how we suffer. With examples from the lives of Fannie Lou Hamer, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Buddha, Roshi Joan examines moral nerve, moral injury, moral distress, moral outrage, moral apathy, and how they “inspire us to take action; to be a force for good.” Discussing the climate catastrophe, racism, sexism, and the caging of refugees, she says “it is actually important to experience the landscape of moral injury today, but not to let it overwhelm us. Let it be an engine for our commitment to end the policies and behaviors that are fueling the current situation, giving rise to such egregious suffering.”<br> <br>
