In this workshop we will consider how the story of the Buddha’s life from royalty, to asceticism, to the middle path is a testament to the abolitionist qualities that the Buddha embodied. Alongside this inquiry, we will dive into how the abolitionist perspective of changing everything, coupled with the Buddhist perspective of allowing things to be as they are, can seem contradictory.
