The Helping Hands Podcast explores and builds upon Buddhist Global Relief’s spiritual foundation, the individual and collective work of engaged Buddhism.

One of the frequent invitations and challenges our teachers offer is to bring our practice off the cushion and make it part of our everyday, ordinary lives. With Cornoavirus we have a similar invitation.

In this time of great fear, it is important that we think of the long-term challenges—and possibilities—of the entire globe. Photographs of our world from space clearly show that there are no real boundaries on our blue planet. Therefore, all of us must take care of it and work to prevent climate change and other destructive forces. This pandemic serves as a warning that only by coming together with a coordinated, global response will we meet the unprecedented magnitude of the challenges we face. – The Dalai Lama
