What Teaching Ethics in Appalachia Taught Me About Bridging America’s Partisan Divide

There’s a language for talking about hot-button issues. And we’re not learning it.

By EVAN MANDERY, Politico, October 13, 2019

In Buddhist economics, happiness is defined by the concept of interconnectedness. All people, all beings, are interdependent with each other and with nature. Happiness comes from making sure people lead comfortable, dignified lives and interact with each other and nature in a meaningful, caring way.
