BODHISATTVAS FOR THE EARTH

Since October 2020, SGI-UK and the Centre for Applied Buddhism have been organising a monthly series of webinars looking at the climate crisis, and making positive suggestions for a hopeful future. Each month the focus alternates: when SGI-UK takes the lead we look at the contribution made by the philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism and the actions of SGI members. In alternate months, the Centre for Applied Buddhism involved people from different backgrounds and introduces an interfaith or multifaith dimension.

These webinars will be held on the last Wednesday of the month up to the COP26 international climate change conference due to be held in Glasgow in November 2021. By following the link you can see past webinars, and sign up for future ones.
