Spirituality Book Talk

Spirituality Book Talk

Monday August 8, 7 p.m. at the House of Meditation, 6496 Jonestown Road, Harrisburg, PA

Please join Osho Ginny Parkum, teacher at the Center for Mindful Living and the Blue Mountain Lotus Society, as we discuss the timely book A Buddhist Response to the Climate Emergency by John Stanley, David Loy, Gyurme Dorje, editors.

As Buddhist practitioners, how can we skillfully and effectively influence political and business decisions in a mindful way that compliments the 8 Fold Path? What is the truth about global warming and what experts do we turn to for the truth about our struggling planet? How do we effect change on a simple, daily level, without becoming overwhelmed or cynical?

Even if you have not read the book, the discussion will be free flowing and lively! Osho Ginny will be joined by members of the BMLS Environmental Action Group, as we ponder the possibilities.

And check out the affiliated website, which is packed with information: www.ecobuddhism.org
