The Ecological Crisis

David Loy discusses how the ecological crisis is much bigger than the climate emergency. In the Ecodharma movement, there is a lot of emphasis now on connecting the ecological crisis with BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) issues. Disadvantaged people, often diverse, indigenous people of color, are already suffering the brunt of the ecological crisis. He also discusses the vast inequalities of wealth in the US and the connection between the ecological crisis and our economic system. There is a breakdown in many systems, and the situation is broader and more urgent than ever. In this critical time, we are all called upon to be bodhisattvas.

Thank you. I personally and some people whom I consider as deeply well inforned, as Prof. Yanis Varoufakis from Greece, the former Minister of Economy agree. Many people say that it has always been like this, up to the wars which I am missing in your talk. - To allow, what you are bringing in, remaining undiscussed, makes me speechless. - I hope that there will be a chance for Europe to get independant from the US, from Nato. Because many of us feel urged into the paradigm of warfare instead of love, sharing, save the small ethnies which are threatened to be exterminated just like animals. I am engaged in Pax Christi, which really go for disarmament, are in the streets, at military bases, writing letters to members of Parliament that we do not want school children to be informed about the necessity to serve as soldiers. These have become our huge problems, whereas at the same social thinking, welfare, money for education... are cut down. This will further cause aggression... so that people are frightened and not at all ready to think of the so-called environment. A European movement seems to grow, I hope that some ethical guidelines similar to our vows are implanted. This is very, very roughly our situation, in my eyes. Collaboration for true democracy is on.
