From the Bodhisattva vow to the deliberate design of injustice, this conversation asks what Buddhism has to offer a world undergoing dramatic change and lands on a simple truth: we may not get there in our lifetime, but we are called to build the path.
Lou and Kristin explore the integration of Buddhist practice with climate action through the lens of the “quivering heart” — the capacity to hold climate grief, fear, and uncertainty with tenderness and courage.
For decades, climate and environmental advocates have tried to close the gap between what people know and what they do. Frustrated, our answer has been “more”: more information, more urgency, more compelling imagery. But what if the problem is our misunderstanding of the problem?
What if “nature” is right here in the experience of being alive? A lifelong city dweller reflects on how mindfulness of the everyday elements of water, breath, food, and fire can dissolve the illusion of separation between ourselves and the living Earth community.
Situated somewhere between profession and spiritual practice, eco-chaplaincy is an emerging field rooted in contemplative traditions that is responding to the suffering arising from ecological crises. The handful of eco-chaplaincy programs, still small, signal a shift in how we understand care.
We consider Joanna Macy to be a root teacher for One Earth Sangha. Going forward, we will honor her birthday in that light. On the first observance since her passing, we share Joanna's delightful conversation with Adam Lobel from 2015.
Our bodies are built to be in conversation with our ecosystem, responding to the world around us via internal clocks. When we attune to the pulses within and around us, time can become an experience of kinship.
