Our FBA Dharmabyte today is an extract from the talk "Buddhism and Ecology" by Akuppa, a fascinating, challenging and, in the end, realistically affirming look at Buddhist practice in the face of global climate crisis. In this section entitled "Individual Connection with Nature," we here Akuppa's concluding remarks and the reading of a poem by Sangharakshita, The Veil of Stars. Talk given at the Western Buddhist Order Convention, 2005
