How Can Buddhism Help Us Respond to the Ecological Crisis?
A Talk and Discussion with DAVID LOY
Wednesday, 5 May 2021, 7:30-9PM US ET

Via Zoom. Registration required.

The ecological crisis—which includes the climate emergency but is much bigger than that—is the greatest challenge that humanity has ever faced. What does Buddhism offer, if anything, that can help us understand and respond appropriately? Most of all, what does the eco-crisis mean for how we understand and practice Buddhism (or follow any spiritual path) today? What is the role of the bodhisattva/ecosattva today?
