Ecodharma: Buddhist teachings for the ecological crisis

When we go to the forest and rediscover our fundamental connection with nature, It becomes clear that the world is not a utilitarian collection of separate things., but a confluence of natural processes that include us. Celebrated Buddhist philosopher David Loy's new book is simultaneously a manifesto, a subversive plan, a call to action and a cure against that fiction of separation. Ecodharma is the Buddhist response to our catastrophic ecological and climate situation, which at the same time brings ecology closer to Buddhism and updates this ancient spiritual tradition. Considered the best book of the year on spirituality in the United States, Ecodharma reveals the powerful ways in which Buddhism can inspire us to heal the world we inhabit.. Combine ecological concerns (eco) with the teachings of Buddhism and related spiritual traditions (dharma), and invites you to reconnect with nature, discover the eco-implications of Buddhist teaching and bring those understandings to active participation that turns us into ecosattvas, a path of liberation and salvation for all living beings and for planet Earth.
