Taking care of the environment and of the hungry ghosts in our society
Thay highlights the importance of Bodhisattva Earth Holder for our time. He speaks of the early work on environmental protection in which he and his community were involved from 1972 to 2002. Thay introduces Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha whose vow is to continue until all beings are saved and encourages us to become his arms of action. He tells the story of Angulimala which leads him to teach about hungry ghosts. Thay urges us to stay in our sangha in order to stay rooted ourselves and to build a refuge for others.
This is the tenth talk in a series of thirteen given during The Hands of the Buddha, twenty-one-day retreat in the year 2002. Thay offered this talk at the New Hamlet, Plum Village, France.
