"When you wake up and you see that the Earth is not just the
environment, the Earth is us, you touch the nature of interbeing. And at
that moment you can have real communication with the Earth... We have to
wake up together. And if we wake up together, then we have a chance. Our
way of living our life and planning our future has led us into this
situation. And now we need to look deeply to find a way out, not only as
individuals, but as a collective, a species."
-- Thich Nhat Hanh
We face a potent intersection of crises: ecological destruction, rising
inequality, racial injustice, and the lasting impacts of a devastating
pandemic. The situation is beyond urgent. To face these challenges, we
need to find ways to strengthen our clarity, compassion, and courage to
act.
Beloved Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh is blazingly clear: there's one thing
we all have the power to change, which can make all the difference, and
that is our mind. Our way of looking, seeing, and thinking determines
every choice we make, the everyday actions we take or avoid, how we
relate to those we love or oppose, and how we react in a crisis.
Mindfulness and the radical insights of Zen meditation can give us the
strength and clarity we need to help create a regenerative world in
which all life is respected. Filled with Thich Nhat Hanh's inspiring
meditations, Zen stories and experiences from his own activism, as well
as commentary from Sister True Dedication, one of his students Zen and
the Art of Saving the Planet shows us a new way of seeing and living
that can bring healing and harmony to ourselves, our relationships, and
the Earth.
