SANGHALiving Lightly and Generously
Environmental and Social Action Resources for Bodhiheart Students
These links are intentionally few, choosen to bring attention to just a couple of countless excellent opportunities to help change the world. Our focus is on identifying practical, immediate actions we can each take to simplify our personal environmental impact and to practice world-embracing generosity.
This is the practice of a bodhisattva.
We find these links particularly inspiring. Now and then we’ll change or add to them. Ven. Dhammadinna and Tenzin Jesse are old friends of both the Karuna Center and Purkal.
