Climate change. Extracted from The Happy Twins, Eifel 2019

James Low

Four extracts taken from ‘The Happy Twins: Dzogchen and Mahamudra’. Autumn Retreat in the Eifel, 2019 James Low.

The retreat focussed on two texts: The Mirror of Luminous Revelation, a terma text from Nuden Dorje Drophan Lingpa and The Mahamudra Middle Way of the Ganges spoken by Tilopa to Naropa. It also focused on how to respond, as Buddhists, to climate change and other world crises.

James gives some suggestions and gave time for discussion groups to form around climate change, environmental pressures, political injustices…

That is when real functional connected compassion starts to make sense. So now I open the space for you all to discuss this and see if and how you can help.
