Facing What is Difficult

from Dharmabytes from free buddhist audio Hosted by Free Buddhist Audio

The scholarly monk Analayo says it is important for us, as Buddhists, to take care of nature as we take care of our own body. We have a responsibility, he says, to cause no harm and to respond to the climate crisis with mindfulness, ethics and compassion. Saddhavasini introduces a guided Karuna Bhavana for the natural world designed to bring you close to the suffering of our natural world and to cultivate the metta and compassion needed to meet and address that suffering with skillful action. Excerpted from the talk Karuna Bhanva For the Natural World, as part of the on-line Touching the Earth retreat, Aryaloka Buddhist Center, 2020. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!
