Mindful of Race: Ruth King on Healing Racism Through Buddhist Wisdom

Recognizing how we have been conditioned to think and react is at the heart of understanding racism and other forms of oppression.
What if understanding racism could start with understanding ourselves? In this thought-provoking episode of the BRN Podcast, Ruth King, a renowned teacher in the Insight Meditation tradition, takes listeners on a journey through the tangled roots of racism and its pervasive impact on society. Drawing from Buddhist teachings, King unpacks how racial conditioning shapes our thoughts and actions, often without us even realizing it.
She highlights the importance of recognizing these deep-seated patterns and offers practical insights on how to begin the healing process. Through the lens of Ultimate and Relative Reality, King reveals how our inner lives mirror the world around us, and why addressing our own biases is crucial for societal change. This episode is a heartfelt call to action, urging listeners to confront their own conditioning and embrace the path of mindfulness, compassion, and inclusivity.
Perfect for anyone interested in blending spiritual practice with social justice, this conversation is both eye-opening and deeply moving.
