The Dharma in the Meta-Crisis

The Dharma in the Meta-Crisis

An Invitation to Reflect and Dialogue

Is personal awakening enough – or does compassion demand more?

What is conscientious compassion in times of crisis?

What does a world in crisis ask of dharma teachers – and those they guide?

Can the Buddhist sangha be a model for sustainable living?

Walking in the footsteps of the Buddha, we students of the dharma have learned much about remaining calm and centred, crisis or not, and have diligently cultivated within ourselves the many wholesome and heartfelt qualities the Buddha embodied.

But if even one person on the boat remained calm and centred, it was enough. It showed the way for everyone to survive. – THICH NHAT HANH –

Contemporary dharma teachers offer a myriad of ways to support the path towards personal awakening. However, the questions growing louder in dharma communities around the world ask how we as dharma teachers and practitioners engage purposefully with the meta-crisis of this time.
This webinar is an invitation to explore these questions together.

Who This is For

This 2-hour webinar is specifically offered to those teaching the dharma, as well as Buddhism informed meditation teachers, mindfulness teachers and those preparing to teach. The talk is offered in the spirit of compassionate dialogue that serves as an invitation to reflect on one’s own way to engage with a world in unprecedented suffering and disintegrations of life sustaining systems, especially in relation to teaching the dharma at this time. Its aim is to share insights, offer inspirations, invite contemplation and encourage dialogue.
