234: Parami's Perspectives No. 4 - Tejopala and Akasamati on Climate Change and Triratna

Parami is back, reporting from Australasia - or is it Oceania? - talking with two friends who have spent much of their adult lives reflecting on - and acting upon - climate change as an integral aspect of their Buddhist practice. A fascinating, sometimes sobering, but realistically positive conversation about what environmental issues have to do with the Dharma - and what we can do to get involved...Topics covered include 'transition towns'; Al Gore's initiative; thinking about our kids; how to deal with carbon that's already present in the atmosphere; why attending to this issue is crucial Dharma practice - individually and communally; divestment; what can we do to get involved in Triratna?Subscribe to hear more: https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/the-buddhist-centre-online/id498033013#Buddhism #Buddhist #Dharma #environment #ecology #green #Australia #NewZealand #community #climate #climatechange #sangha #divesttriratna #divestment
