Sharon Salzberg

Is meditation fundamentally conservative, a spiritual tranquilizer that helps us accept circumstances we'd do better to oppose? Meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg demurs. Used properly, these techniques can help us gain the clarity and calm to take action. Plus she offers a paean to the Statue of Liberty as a quasi-Hindu deity and anti-Trump emblem. And there's music from Max ZT and Rajna Swaminathan. Good times at the Rubin Museum.
