Marlai Compassion & Engagement with Honesty, Patience, & Gratitude: This channel was created due to a need for a global connection and engagement to solve today's global humanitarian issues through compassion with honesty, patience, and gratitude.
Thanks to Venerable Tathaloka for connecting me with Diana Chen, I got an opportunity to participate and speak at the 11th Global Conference on Buddhism on June 29, 2019. I was in Panel#4 for "Social Justice & Engaged Buddhism". I spoke about the Cambodian plight after the war and deportation of refugees. After my speech, my moderator, Hozan Alan Senauke, asked me how we as a global community could help. My response was to stay connected, share resources/knowledge, and help each other; however, that network of connection didn't exist. I'm creating a Facebook page to answer that question. I wanted to also take a step further of engaging the global community through compassion.
