The international Plum Village Community is coming together to support the upcoming Paris Climate Summit (COP21).
Please see the invitation for Climate Action from Plum Village for a list of suggested actions. Most of these actions are suggested for between November 30 and Dec 11.
One of the five actions is to participate in a Climate Change March this Sunday, Nov 29. The link for the Global Climate March in Calgary is here.
Here are some upcoming events at Mountain Lamp (rural practice center located in Northern Washington):
Mountain Lamp will be hosting a Plum Village style “Harvest” retreat in mid September, co-led by Eileen Kiera and Kaira Jewel (formerly Sister Jewel). This will be a pretty special retreat with Eileen and Kaira both contributing their wisdom and practice. There should also be very good food from the late summer organic garden at Mountain Lamp!
The Sangha will be looking into a letter that Thây wrote to his students last fall, shortly before his stroke and will be exploring the 3 Bodies of the Buddha, the 5 Skandhas, Bodhicitta and the importance of intelligent practice.
