Dharma Rain: Sources of Buddhist Environmentalism

Through a rich tapestry of stories, teachings, and thinkers the book examines the interconnectedness of all life, illustrating how Buddhist principles can guide us in addressing modern ecological and societal challenges. From the compassionate acts of Milarepa to the Dalai Lama’s advocacy for environmental preservation, the narrative offers a deep reflection on how inner transformation can lead to global change.
