Zhiwa Woodbury, Sunday morning Dharma talk, December 28 In cultivating compassion for all sentient beings during a tumultuous time of human-caused suffering, it can be a challenge for Buddhist practitioners to contain the feelings of loss associated with the climate crisis in particular, and the world situation more generally. We will explore some effective strategies for bringing these difficult emotions into our dharma practice, and processing them in ways that lead to right action rather than despair and spiritual bypassing. Zhiwa Woodbury is a long-time eco-activist, wildlife advocate, dharma practitioner, and hospice caregiver. He recently became an Eco-psychologist while offering service at Zen Hospice in San Francisco, and is in the process of writing a book tentatively entitled Planetary Hospice: Responding Compassionately to Our Climate in Crisis.
