This short book by Bhikkhu Anālayo, one of the world’s lead ing authorities on early Buddhism, is unique among works on Buddhism and environment for its extensive attention to early Buddhist texts. His skillful exegesis of these passages provides lessons for our perilous age. He shows how Buddhists have con nected morality to both environmental degradation and recov ery; how we can use Buddhist perspectives and practices to deal with denial, anger, resignation, and other emotions provoked by contemplating climate change; and not only how Buddhism could help with the mitigation of or adaptation to climate change, but how a practitioner could use the challenges we face to grow spir itually. A new story for the world requires that we change our minds, and Anālayo shows how Buddhist methods for cultivat ing mindfulness and practicing compassion can help us mitigate climate change and adapt to its progression.
