Victor von der Heyde - [Part 1] Climate breakdown and the Dharma

In the past Victor has given talks about one’s carbon footprint or legacy. He’s also focussed on our sense of entitlement and how that is dependent. These two sessions will touch briefly on those issues but cover much broader ground. The sessions will start by looking at statements from senior Insight Meditation teachers in England who took part in civil disobedience actions to call for a more urgent response to climate change and to the loss of species. We’ll look at their varied thoughts and motivations; at other responses to the climate crisis, at the sense of resignation, and at how dharma teachings might guide us.
