Touching the Earth by Akuppa
Faced with the environmental crises we see many people carrying on as usual. If we look to those in government, we see indecision or complacency. So what do we do? Do we follow the herd or do we look to our own sense of what is rational and compassionate? This vast problem can leave us feeling overwhelmed, despairing or alienated. But buried in these thoughts is the very thing that can help us act. Our despair shows that we have concern for other people, animals or the beauty of nature. Environmentalist and Buddhist teacher Akuppa demonstrates how Buddhism has always urged us to see beyond our selfish concerns and wake up to the fragile beauty of the world. This capacity to look beyond ourselves is a seed of heroism. Cultivating this seed, in a thousand ordinary ways, we will find that real change is possible after all.| SKU | Unavailable |
