Diversity and Inclusion Revisited

Following up on a post from 58 days after Donald Trump's inauguration as president of the United States, we look at the DEI tsunami and how the Buddha practiced diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity.

Training the mind, calming the passions, acting with compassion, and practicing the dharma result in less or no suffering. Giving in to anger, hatred, sensual desires, and the vicissitudes of life leads to more suffering.

We have equality of opportunity. We can choose our path. The outcome is up to us.
