MEDITATING FOR CLIMATE ACTION
WHO ARE WE?Â
We are a group of Buddhists who care deeply about climate change.
The Buddha lived over 2500 years ago. We find what he says has relevance for us today in every way - including how we might want to respond to climate change.
WHAT ARE WE DOING?
As Buddhists a significant part of our practice involves meditation.
In meditation, we work with our minds to become aware of THE TRUTH - nothing is fixed, everything is changing and everything we do, however small, has an effect. We are all interconnected.
TODAY We offer loving kindness to all beings and include the earth in that. We also bring compassion to all those whose actions are adding to the climate emergency.
WHY ARE WE DOING IT?
We have confidence that we CAN become kinder and wiser people, who ask less from the earth and its inhabitants.
We believe that if we live according to the teachings of the Buddha, the world will be a more harmonious place. The resources we have CAN be shared, honoured and respected.
Hatred does not
cease by hatred but
only by love. This is
the eternal rule
