What happens when the world goes mad—and we go mad right along with it? In this episode of The Peacemakers Podcast, Zen teacher and poet Norman Fischer brings to life the prophetic parable of the tainted grain by Rebbe Nachman.

Norman gently walks us through what it means to live in a world turned upside down. Through the lens of the Bodhisattva path, he invites us to surrender the illusion of separateness, to embrace our shared human vulnerabilities, and to discover an inner greatness rooted in compassion, love, and radical acceptance.
