As we venture on our Faith practice to seek the ultimate, what does our faith mean to the everydayness of our conventional world, especially to the samsaric challenges: growing-apart human connections, growing-up inequalities, polarising minds and nations, and so on… Is our Faith practice our own or is it also of the world we inhabit? If so how can we have a continuous awareness of their connection with each other?
