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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
To face these challenges, we need to find ways to strengthen our clarity, compassion, and courage to act.
The situation is beyond urgent. -- Thich Nhat Hanh We face a potent intersection of crises: ecological destruction, rising inequality, racial injustice, and the lasting impacts of a devastating pandemic.
And now we need to look deeply to find a way out, not only as individuals, but as a collective, a species.
Our way of living our life and planning our future has led us into this situation.
And if we wake up together, then we have a chance.
We have to wake up together.
And at that moment you can have real communication with the Earth...
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
