  • Buddhist Wisdom for Working with Political Division with Tania Israel

    Buddhist Wisdom for Working with Political Division with Tania Israel
    Nov 2 2024

    In this episode of The Lion's Roar Podcast, Lion’s Roar’s Sandi Rankawduwa talks to Dr. Tania Israel, Professor of Counseling Psychology and Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the University of California, Santa Barbara. With 25 years of expertise in LGBTQ psychology and social justice, and as the author of Facing the Fracture: How to Navigate the Challenges of Living in a Divided Nation, Dr. Israel offers invaluable insights on bridging divides with compassion.

    In this conversation, she explores how to maintain connection amidst political differences, stay true to our convictions without demonizing others, and approach tough conversations — from navigating “cancel culture” to managing anger, and preserving our spiritual aspirations in the face of political conflict.

    In this interview, Buddhadharma deputy editor Mariana Restrepo speaks with Dr. Pierce Salguero about a survey he conducted among Buddhist studies scholars, providing an insightful look into the changing landscape of Buddhist scholarship. The survey highlights the growing intersection between academic research and Buddhist practice, challenging the traditional expectation that scholars maintain objectivity by distancing themselves from the religious traditions they study. Instead, the survey reveals that many Buddhist studies scholars are actively engaged in religious and spiritual practices, with some attributing their academic paths to profound mystical or spiritual experiences.
