Waterspirit's Book Club May 22, 2023

Join Waterspirit’s Book Club for our May 22 meeting as we discuss the book Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet by Thich Nhat Hanh.

Our book club meetings are held online. Link to the Zoom meeting will be provided upon registration.

“When you wake up and you see that the Earth is not just the environment, the Earth is us, you touch the nature of interbeing. And at that moment you can have real communication with the Earth… We have to wake up together. And if we wake up together, then we have a chance. Our way of living our life and planning our future has led us into this situation. And now we need to look deeply to find a way out, not only as individuals, but as a collective, a species.”

-- Thich Nhat Hanh

*“It can be tough to keep a positive attitude and feel hopeful. In this book, Vietnamese Buddhist monk, teacher, author, poet, and peace activist Thích Nhất Hạnh applies Buddhist wisdom to everyday life to help readers make peace with their place in the world and give them the tools to accept circumstances beyond their control.” — Booklist
