Dear Sangha
A number of us from the Ecodharma subforum are planning on taking the Ecosattva training with One Earth Sangha, starting in January 2024.
This is a training that combines the path of the bodhisattva in wishing to save all beings, and the path of environmental activism in the face of the current climate crisis and other environmental problems such as the massive loss of biodiversity due to human action and habitat loss. How do we as Buddhists approach these issues?
For the training we need to register both as a group, which will be associated with Treeleaf, and as individuals. It costs $150 per person, with a 25% discount for being part of a group (so $112.50 by my calculations).
The course lasts eight months and we will meet once a month as a group on Zoom for a 90 minute discussion of that month’s material (the course online can be read here: https://oneearthsangha.org/articles/...g-v5/#overview) and a meeting with members of One Earth Sangha and all current participants of the training held on the second Sunday of each month, 12:30 – 2:00 PM Eastern US Time.
I would like to cap the group at around 10-12 people otherwise discussions can become too difficult, and we already have six interested persons. If there is a lot of interest, different groups can also be created for discussion.
If this appeals to you, let me know below, and I will move forward with registering the group with One Earth Sangha. If you do join, it will be expected that you commit to the entire length of the training, barring unforeseen circumstances.
The group will be nominally led by myself and Doshin (I have a PhD in plant ecology and worked at an environmental science institute at the University of Zurich, and Doshin has spent his whole adult life working in conservation) but I see this as a gathering of equals who wish to embody their bodhisattva vow through engaged practice related to environmental issues.
