This episode is a part of series I'm trying, "Facing Extinction: Trying to do the right thing in a climate emergency." What does it have to do with Zen and Buddhism? The connection may not be so explicit, but my own practice feels inauthentic unless I talk about the crisis we're facing. Maybe I can make a bigger difference as a Zen teacher and writer by honestly sharing my own struggles and experiences with "trying to do the right thing in a climate emergency," than by trying offer answers to others.
