Can Buddhism Help The Resistance?

The year 2020 has been rough with us. In the collective sense, we've seen disease, death, political strife, racial injustice, and economic adversity cause a great deal of suffering. Personally, life has been very difficult as my wife was diagnosed with stage 2 cancer and is now in the midst of chemotherapy treatments. All of this anguish has taken a significant toll. It has me thinking a lot about different methods we might use to cope, both in the personal/individual sense and for the greater good of societal harmony.
