Who Cares Wins with Lily Cole Lily Cole

Season 3 of Who Cares Wins offers a triptych of episodes that all explore how our inner landscapes shape our outer landscapes.

In episode one, Lily speaks with pioneering economist Kate Raworth and Sister True Dedication. Kate is the author and creator of Doughnut Economics: an economic model that balances between essential human needs and planetary boundaries. Sister True D is a Zen Buddhist nun ordained by Vietnamese peace activist and monastic Thich Nhat Hanh (known affectionately by students as 'Thay'). Sister True D is a former journalist, Cambridge graduate and edited several of Thich Nhat Hanh's books including 'Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet.'

In this episode, Kate, Sister True D and Lily discuss the nature of humanity, the nature of reality, and how Zen concepts such as Inter-Being might be applied to the cultural assumptions that lie underneath our economic and political realities.

Following on from the conversation between Sister True Dedication and Kate Raworth, here is a short meditation from Sister True D. More free meditations like this one can be found via the Plum Village app.
