    I can understand that, Bokusei. Money we may be able to help with but, although Dogen observed that all time is right here, right now, we still only have 24 hours in each day.

    Wonderful you are working in nature conservation. The Ecosattva training does repeat each year but I don't know if we will have more Treeleaf groups doing it. There are, however, opportunities to join with other groups.

        Thank you, Kokuu.

        Since I have been involved in the tree-planting and sustaining project for the last 5 years
        I would be very interested to join the course. Our local group of volunteers also participates
        in various meetings and discussions regarding biodiversity and other green issues locally.

        There are some points of my current concern though.

        1. I am not sure if I will be able to afford the cost for the time being, but I will try to find a
        solution.
        2. In case there are blackouts similar to last winter it may happen I won't be available
        for a monthly meeting at a certain time.

          Washin,

          It would be great to have you. Several people have offered to help others out financially as am I. This is something of value for our Sangha and those we live around every day.

          Please join us.

            I would also like to put some coin into the sponsorship bucket.

                Washin, I totally echo Doshin's sentiments that we would love to have you join us, and I think that not everyone will be able to attend all of the meetings anyway. With everyone's permission, we can record each session so at least they can be watched later.

                And, yes, we will find ways to fund those who cannot afford the cost.


                I would also like to put some coin into the sponsorship bucket.
                Thank you, Andy, that is hugely appreciated. I hope to be able to add something too.

                        Certainly something I’m interested in, I currently work in a climate change related research, and volunteered a lot in the past. I have to say that it’s currently out of my budget however, so I’ll hold off for the time being. Perhaps next time.

                          Hi everyone Ryokudo here, I would love to join this as I am looking at finding ways to get more engaged with both buddhist thought and eco-activism. I have done nothing for too long.

                          Obviously I need to sort my immediate joblessness out but I am knee deep in interviews so hopefully my personal situation will stabilise imminently. If so I'd be honoured to join the group, if there is space and you'll have me 😀

                          Gassho 🙏,

                          Ryokudo

                            Hi Dan. That is really interesting you are involved in climate change related research. What does that involve? In the 90s I was part of a project looking at how elevated CO2 affected plant growth in the Jura mountains.

                            We may be able to help with the registration fee, and One Earth Sangha also state that they don't want to exclude anyone because of lack of funds.

                            Please feel free to join, Ryokudo. I hope that the interviews bear fruit!

                                Dan, it would be good to have you join us. As Kokuu said, others in our Sangha have offered to assist those who need it and One Earth Sangha doesn’t want to exclude anyone because of financial challenges.
