Some Personal Reflections
Oswin Hollenbeck, Rev. Master
I found compiling Rev. Master Jiyu’s. teachings on environmental concerns to be a helpful response to questions raised in various Buddhism and ecology books and by our own lay congregation. One question is, ‘What can I do?’ I hope some of these specific practices may prove useful in your own life and inspire you to create additional ones. Another question is ‘How?’ and here is the power and value of community, which for us, of course, is Sangha. Working with others, and simply knowing that others are making the same effort, help counter despair and discouragement and give a sense of stability, hope, and purpose.
