Great points! I think you articulate well what many Buddhist who hope to a better world feel. I also take the Buddhadharma seriously but it’s hard not to see the violence happening against the common person via poor healthcare.
It’s also given me a lot of stress.
Buddhism traditional says there are 84,000 teachings from the historical Buddha which many practices connected to each. For instance there are many different forms of meditation such as Soto Zen’s Shikantaza and Shingon’s full moon meditation. Within that context I’m asking what one practices. It could include ritual, scripture reading, mantra, meditation style, etc
