Upaya Zen Center's Dharma Podcast - A podcast by Joan Halifax | Zen Buddhist Teacher Upaya Abbot - Sundays

In this very deep discourse between Christiana Figueres, Roshi Joan and the participants of this program we explore the complexity of human systems, social action, and the human experience. Christiana opens with her perspective on speech itself being social action, and the importance of reframing phrases like “war on pollution” or “fighting climate change” with words that better reflect our desire for a more compassionate and understanding world. Christiana continues on to explain her interactions with petrol states like Saudi Arabia, and how they understand their responsibilities to slow climate change.
