Launching a New Campaign: Living the Change
Communities of meaning are stepping up to live the change we need. Join us and in a multi-faith initiative for living in sustainable relationship with and for the web of life.
As part of September’s Global Climate Action Summit in northern California, we invite you to join One Earth Sangha for this event at Spirit Rock to inspire mindful engagement in the healing of our world.
“The Bodhisattva precepts….extend from the idea that bodhicitta, or wise compassion, is the ground of ethical action and speech. We too can ground our activism, social engagement, and resistance in wise compassion.” Lama Willa Miller offers five practices that can help us face the immense challenge of climate change.
In writing about the ecodharma of not eating meat, Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard says, “The most striking quality that humans and animals have in common is the capacity to experience suffering.”
Buddhism emphasizes that our individual actions affect the world around us, and it follows that caring for the natural world begins with each of us.
