As the Co-Chair of the UN Multi Faith Advisory Council and CEO of the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation, Debra brings a unique perspective to the realm of religious discourse. Her journey leading Buddhist and Catholic interfaith dialogue has revealed many commonalities between the two religions: the most prominent being a shared desire for compassion and understanding. In this episode, we explore how faith-based organizations help create government programs for the most vulnerable through their grassroots efforts, how religious leaders serve at the forefront of social justice issues, and the role of women and immigrants within Buddhist institutions.
