How are Black Buddhists using Buddhism to heal from the traumas of racism? Dr. Rima Vesely-Flad, author of Black Buddhists and the Black Radical Tradition, joins us to discuss why Black Americans have been turning to Buddhist teachings and practices to deal with living in a white supremacist society. We also explore how Buddhism has helped Black Americans confront misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, and how Black Buddhists have found a sense of stability despite the presence of intergenerational trauma and profound structural racism.
