Each autumn we celebrate Earth Day, an opportunity for the Sangha to come together to honour and help our planet. Our ceremony includes chanting, prostrations, and a monetary offering that is donated to an environmental cause chosen each year.  After the ceremony we generally take on a community project, such as tree-planting, gardening, or rubbish clean-up. However, everyday really needs to be an "Earth Day". The Centre recognises the severe threats that pollution and climate change pose to our collective wellbeing. The Centre is a signatory to the Buddhist Climate Change Declaration (see PDF attached below) and Sensei has addressed environmental issues in a number of talks and articles including several published in Zen Bow (see PDF attached below) .  |
