Episode Description: What’s the deal here? In the first of this six-part workshop, Bernie Glassman asks, What does spirituality bring to social engagement? And, in particular, what does the experience of Buddhism bring? Bernie reflects on the basic tenet of Buddhism which is the energy of the interconnectedness of life, and defines “grokking” as bearing witness.
