His Holiness the Dalai Lama wrote, and I quote: “In order to carry out a positive action, we must develop here a positive vision. It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and the others.” Now, we’re arriving at an age and time of intense pressure. We have seen the climate crisis, social polarization, and democracy backsliding around the globe. So you can feel, really, that the adversity, the darkness, is closing in.
