Over the last few months many of us, I am sure, have been feeling some anguish and despair over the state of the world. Where is it all leading? Where are we going? What can Buddhists actually do for the world and for themselves when faced with the full horror of samsara (the conditioned realm)?

Buddhism Now is an online magazine based upon the teachings
of the Buddha.
Buddhist Publishing Group (BPG), of Totnes, England, was formed in 1983 and printed a paper version of Buddhism Now from 1989 until 2007.
