Through the lenses of dharma & collective karma, Ethan Nichtern explores the polarizing political climate & extremism that stoked the January 6th, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Reconciling Buddhism with a Fascist Threat

With the attacks on the U.S. Capitol being such an egregious breach of truth, morals, and humanity, Ethan posits the question of how we can reconcile the ‘equanimity-for-both-sides’ teachings of Buddhism within the context of the modern rise of white supremacist fascism.

“This is where the dharma starts to come in, and I think our reading of classic Buddhist or yogic ways of dealing with a world in turmoil need to evolve and need to get a lot more precise quite quickly.” – Ethan Nichtern
