Yes, climate activism is religious. And we need to become even more religious. Bigots in the green movement deny the reality of our crusade, and of the inseparable nature of environmentalism and all the world's religions.
Why are we decent people who care about the Earth afraid to talk about spirituality? Contrary to impressions left on the simple by rage-baiting media, no religious path advocates environmental destruction or apathy. After reviewing the major religions of the world’s stances on the environment, it seems pretty clear to me that there are more commonalities than differences. In the realm of metaphysics there are genuine and significant splits between Dharmic faiths (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism) and the Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), but in the realm of practical action to protect our shared environment, there is a great common ground between all of them and environmentalism itself. In other…

A Jew who isn’t a climate activist isn’t possible: Judaism & the environment We are all passengers in this same fragile and glorious world. Let us safeguard our boat.
This is part of an ongoing series of posts (Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism) outlining how the world’s major religions have traditionally viewed the environment and are putting those beliefs into practice today. “A Jewish ecology is ‘not based on the assumption that we are no different from other living creatures. It [begins] with the opposite idea: We have a special responsibility precisely because we are different, because we know what we are doing’.” – The Conservative Rabbi Harold Kushner in his book To Life! Dominion over Earth not an excuse for tyranny That special responsibility is rooted in the belief that everything in the universe is the work of God and…

Yes, Buddhism requires you to be a climate activist: Buddhism & the environment Buddhism's imperative of environmental protection says we are an intrinsic part of nature, not separate.
This is part of an ongoing series of posts (Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism) outlining how the world’s major religions have traditionally viewed the environment and are putting those beliefs into practice today. Buddhism is probably the primary introduction to Dharma-based spirituality and there are certainly a great number of green groups claiming some sort of inspiration from Buddhist teachings on compassion, mindfulness, and non-violence. As for Buddhist teachers themselves, increasingly many of the highest profile ones, from Thich Naht Hahn in the Zen tradition to HH The Dalai Lama in Tibetan Buddhism, are making explicit connections between Buddhist beliefs and the imperative of environmental protection. The Dalai Lama has said, Taking…

Taking back the Law of Attraction from the stupids The key to manifesting is not pretending you can afford that vacation, but IMAGINING you are already there.
Stupid people are hijacking the Law of Attraction. I am sick of it, and it’s time to take it back. Since I first heard about the concepts of attraction and manifestation, I knew they were for me. They fit perfectly with everything I’d believed about life, and how my life works, for many years. When I watched The Secret I recognized it as truth, not rocket science—but truth. Yes, this is what I understand to be true about life. When Oprah started talking about it, I had mixed feelings. The “O” stamp of approval meant countless numbers of people would discover this truth (woohoo!), but sadly many of them would manipulate the…
