Points 9-16 of the 16-point statement on climate change issued by the US Dharma Teachers’ Climate Collaborative in 2013.

“9. The interconnectedness of inner and outer, the individual and the collective (or institutional): Climate disruption provides an unprecedented opportunity to understand the roots of the problem—which relate to the ways our minds work and how those patterns become embedded in collective and collective/institutional practices and policies. This awareness can open the door to new ways of thinking and responding that will eventually...

“1. Reverence for life: From this point forward climate disruption is the overriding context for all life on earth, including humans. What we humans do will determine what life survives and thrives and in what form and locations.

2. Happiness stems from helping others: Our greatest personal happiness comes when...

By cremigio on Tue, 26 May, 2015 - 12:47

Part of the vision of the Cardiff Buddhist Centre is to be an active part of the local community. So on the weekend of 3rd May Sangha Gardeners set about beautifying the streets around the Buddhist Centre for the benefit of the local community.
