How can we meditate in a world on fire?

Here are some thoughts from Sister True Dedication: "This question is very alive for me right now. I don’t have all the answers, I don’t know how to hold a phone steady or in the right place, or how to film with flies, but this 3 minutes here captures the foundation of what I’ve understood from my 16 years in the monastery and my time training with Thay (Thich Nhat Hanh) and assisting him with the international community’s engaged actions.

"How does it land with you? Am I making any sense?! Does it bring up questions? Has it been hard to sit amidst all the craziness?

"I’m here on this crazy social media thing to learn, to listen, to understand. Here for you all just as you are, no judgement."
