Buddhism is many things—a philosophy, a religion, and a way of life. Join us as we explore some of the many ways Buddhist insights inform, comfort, and shake us awake from our complacency. “Budh” is Sanskrit for “awake.” To what extent are we asleep? And what would it mean to wake up? What insights can Buddhism offer us on how we might better navigate the impermanence and suffering of our own lives?
