Klappentext

Climate breakdown is already upon us. Zen teaches that we must face reality squarely, with eyes unclouded by longing. It is that clear-eyed gaze which Zen teacher Sante Poromaa turns upon the question now facing us all: as we approach the probable end of the world as we know it, how should we be?

In this essay collection, Poromaa does not provide any pat answers. He does share many valuable insights from Buddhist teachings but like all good Zen teachers, he does not rob us from our own journey by telling us what to believe or how to think or feel. Instead, he models a response of courage, wisdom and compassion and invites us to find our own way forward as he shares with us the kaleidoscope of thoughts and feelings that emerge within his own mind as he contemplates this moment in human history.
