“If you read only one dharma book, make it this one.”—The Mirror
“At last—a clear exposition of our responsibilities as Buddhists in dealing with the enormous challenge of saving our planet. Two of the world’s most influential Buddhists—His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh—are joined by many Rinpoches and leading Buddhist scholars in helping us to define our roles. Our individual and our ecological predicaments are remarkably similar and the persuasive voices in this book help us to understand this—and give us some tools to “take corrective action to ensure a safe-climate future,” as His Holiness puts it. Please read this book!”—Mandala
