CJ Liu ("Fire It Up With CJ" host) shares a story of a racist encounter and asks Lama Surya Das how a Bodhisattva would respond with moral self-discipline. Lama Surya shares several strategies for mindful action when someone is acting in hurtful ways and offers the wisdom of taking the middle path. These encounters are like driving a car; we need to know when to yield, when to go, and how to recognize the gray areas in between. Surya Das recounts advice from the Dalai Lama who suggests that sometimes the kindest thing to do is yield, to prevent a person from collecting more karma. https://youtu.be/2vPqGNRXD5k
