3: What Buddhist Psychology can Offer the Climate Crisis | Sr. Lang Nghiem (Sr. Hero)

0:05: 🧘 The importance of coming home to the body, recognizing emotions, and using our breathing to relax all the cells in our body.
5:35: 🧠 Understanding how seeds of emotions manifest in consciousness through sensory input.
13:00: 🌱 Nurturing joy and empathy through simple acts of kindness and compassion, and learning to pay attention to the positive elements in the present moment.
19:49: ⚖️ Embracing and taking care of anger through selective watering and mindful consumption to regain sovereignty over our body and mind - over our life.
26:35: 💭 The insight of inter-being: with deeper understanding we can move from judging to wise acceptance
32:47: ⚖️ Harnessing insight and understanding to address current global challenges with calmness and clarity.
40:18: 💡 Understanding the concept of survival instict (self-appropriation, manas) in Buddhist psychology.
54:36: 🧘 Mindful service meditation encourages recognizing and transforming habits in daily tasks - the way we scrub that pot IS the way we deal with other things in our life.
As we are well aware, the pressure of achieving profound and urgent change is leading to increased anxiety and polarization in societies as well as within the climate movement. It is paradoxical, but critical, that at a time of great stress, we intentionally create the space to listen deeply to each other, reflect calmly, and renew our spirit of engagement and collaboration.
We invite you to enjoy a series of talks from the monastics of the monastery in France. Each week, we will learn new tools for personal and planetary resilience and mindfulness so we can act out of our best and most effective selves in the face of the climate challenge.
Led by the Plum Village monastics, we will cultivate an individual and collective understanding of how to deal with our deep emotions and how to call forth our most transformational capacities. Through applied mindfulness, workshops, and the radical insights of Zen, we will discover how to strengthen our clarity, compassion, and courage to act together.
7th October 2023, Plum Village France.

    I have been studying Plum Village teachings for a few years now. This one session brought it all together for me. Thank you for having the patience to offer this teaching once again. I'm sure it can be mundane and rote for you to do it, but it is so valuable for those of us just starting on the path. I am grateful.

    Thank you Sister for sharing and being vulnerable in parts of your talk. Especially talking about struggles of parts of your childhood. I'm 48, working my way through dealing with CPTSD from mostly child abuse and then the train wreck that I called a life after it. I'm learning and seeing that when I open up and talk to others about it, instead of hiding from it from others.... Mostly I have been received with respect and some love. Two things I did not get as a child , or young adult. By me.... Opening up my heart more ... I am hearing back from others " me too". One day I will sit on a cushion with you all ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    seems like the whole climate adjenda at least where im at in the usa is kinda political atp. We dont know what is causing the warming of the earth.could be co2 could be solar cycles could be a lot of things. I think it is wrong to give countries like kenya "carbon credits" and for politicians and governments to be able to manipulate gas prices and electricity prices, that poor people require to get out of poverty, over a theory that still hasn't been scientifically proven. The dude who made "an inconvenient truth" Al gore was no scientist but a politician. Not saying to be throwing trash on the streets or to cut down Forests, but first societys must get out of abject poverty before they can become more environmentally conscious. If they are in abject poverty, they are probably more concerned with what they are going to eat that day then the environment.

    There are a lot of effects of climate change already and some of the poor nations are the first to suffer from drought, rising sea levels etc its not in 200 years, it's here now. Its not just reach countries problem and Gore is far from being the only one who believes it's caused by humans. I'm not even talking about animal lives, which also have value.

    2006 is a long time ago. A lot has changed since then, he is not the only one who warns of climate change, the data is collected by real scientists over decades - and it is conclusive, humans are the cause of our current climate change. If you choose to be in denial, that's on you.

    We do know what’s causing it. You’re either being disingenuous or you’re terribly misinformed. Almost 99% of climate scientists agree that climate change is real and what its causes are and over 90% of all scientists regardless of discipline agree climate change is real and man made. You can bury your head in the sand if you want; that’s your right. But your ignorance isn’t everyone else’s reality

    this video isn't even about the climate crisis, the sister is speaking to a room full of climate activists. she helps them to process their feelings, and she does not present a stance for or against the alleged "adjenda" that you are referring to. if you would like to listen to her, I'm sure you would gain some insights about your own feelings. she touches on anger, hatred, pain, grief, and other mental formations. are these present only in the minds of climate activists, or are you familiar with them as well?
