Ecodharma
Buddhist Teachings for the Ecological Crisis

Can Buddhism help us understand and respond to the eo-crisis?
The talk will focus on three aspects of ecodharma: practicing in the natural
world; exploring the ecological implications of Buddhist teachings;
and embodying that understanding in the new ecosattva path.
