The Power of Narratives in Transformative Action: Awakened Action (Part 3 of 9)

Upaya Zen Center's Dharma Podcast - A podcast by Joan Halifax | Zen Buddhist Teacher Upaya Abbot

In Part 3 of the Awakened Action series, Roshi Joan Halifax and Terry Williams bring their depth and sincerity to bear. They explore the profound interconnection between social and environmental responsibility, contemplative practice, and storytelling. Weaving together historical, legendary, and archetypal perspectives on the Buddha’s life, this session highlights themes of interdependence, care, and awakened action. Roshi and Terry draw from a rich lineage of engaged Buddhism, as well as personal stories of vulnerability and collective resilience, emphasizing the transformative power of stories as a bridge between the personal, political, and spiritual.
