On Tuesday, George was joined by Anne Carolyn Klein for a Golden Civilization Conversation.

Their deep and probing interview covers topics from Anne’s books, both translations and Buddhist scholarly works, and her inspiration to write them, Anne’s identification as a feminist, and her work at Rice University and Dawn Mountain. They speak in depth about Buddhism, covering themes of interdependence, great completeness, and freedom from bias. When it comes to their discussion of A Golden Civilization, they discuss similarities to the Golden Rule, and how this kind of change, though it can start from a small place, requires big systematic change. They close with the importance of imagination and belief that we can get there.
