In this talk, Musho Sensei responds to the question, “Why are we sitting around doing nothing while the world is burning?” His answer is, “We sit around doing nothing because the world is burning." Musho states that meditation leads to action - action that undertakes the challenge of “Saving all sentient beings.” The talk ends with a poem by Wendell Berry.
