Minding The Earth, Mending The World: Zen and the Art of Planetary Crisis

In this fascinating examination of the possibilities awaiting the world we live in, author and Zen disciple Susan Murphy confronts the dystopias we are moving towards even as she offers the reader ways to avert them. Murphy puts forward a model of engaged Buddhism as a solution to our crisis, wherein we can gain the tools to move beyond suspicious cynicism and start the spiritual and environmental healing that is required of us. Changing the nature of the crisis we confront by approaching it through a Buddhist lens, Minding The Earth, Mending The World asks important questions of everyone living through this pivotal moment.
