A thoughtful open letter to all of humanity, highly recommended to readers of all faiths and backgrounds
Oct 9 2008
By Midwest Book Review
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Buddhist monk, scholar, and human rights activist Thich Nhat Hanh presents The World We Have: A Buddhist Approach to Peace and Ecology, a thoughtful, almost pocket-sized guide to the spiritual dimension of environmentalism, as seen from a Buddhist perspective. Hanh argues that the impermanence of all things should not be used as an excuse to turn one's back on the world, instead emphasizing that being fully engaged with the world is critical to individual and collective survival. "The wisdom offered by the Buddha is that we accept impermanence - our own death and the inevitable death of our civilization. And afer having accepted that, we will have peace and strength and an awakening that will bring us together. No more hate, no more discrimination. Then we'll have the opportunity to make use of the technology that is available to us in order to save our beloved planet." A thoughtful open letter to all of humanity, highly recommended to readers of all faiths and backgrounds.

Timely, important book calling on us all to live with mindfullness in regards to living on this finite, fragile planet
April 5 2009
By C. Fitzgerald
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Timely, important book calling on us all to live with mindfullness in regards to living on this finite, fragile planet. Great to see buddishim and ecology so clearly linked for the peace and survial for all species on this planet.
A beautiful small book, with profound short essays on working towards a 'global ethic', 'diet for a mindful planet' and an 'earth peace treaty' for us all to sign individually and email into a monastery!- an innovative invitation to inidicate and emphasise all our individual reponsibility to this planet.
