10am-1pm Addressing Wild Weather: Externally and Internally

How can Buddhist meditation help us not only to work externally to address climate instability now, but also help us to work internally so that we can keep a peaceful and compassionate mind?

Buddha’s teachings encourage us to work externally to reduce the suffering in the world. So we can use his teachings to engage in external ways to address climate instability.  However, Buddha also taught that new forms of suffering and problems keep arising. As many climate experts remind us, it is incorrect to think “We need to save the planet”; the planet will survive and continue in some transformed state whatever we do to it. The real issue is: do we want to save ourselves and all sentient beings?

Open to all. Walk-ins welcome.
