Change and Regeneration: Jack Kornfield & Paul Hawken

Paul Hawken, author, environmentalist, and founder of Project Drawdown, joins Jack Kornfield, author, Buddhist practitioner, for a riveting dharma talk on climate change and how we can come together to spur the regeneration of our world.

The things you do not have to say make you rich.
Saying things you do not have to say weakens your talk.
Hearing things you do not need to hear dulls your hearing.
And things you know before you hear them–those are you,
Those are why you are in the world.”

―William Stafford, Crossing Unmarked Snow: Further Views on the Writer’s Vocation

May I be a guard for those who need protection
A guide for those on the path
A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood
May I be a lamp in the darkness
A resting place for the weary
A healing medicine for all who are sick
A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles
And for the boundless multitudes of living beings
May I bring sustenance and awakening
Enduring like the earth and sky
Until all beings are freed from sorrow
And all are awakened.”

―Bodhisattva Prayer for Humanity
