Embraci
ng Nature
Is a new release from Venerable Master Hsing Yun regarding Buddhism’s relationship to nature, and the importance of nature to Buddhism.
Synopsis:
There has been a consistent connection between Buddhism and the environment since ancient times. Harmony with plants and animals has always played an important role in the stories that transmitted Buddhism across the world. In the past, other authors have treated this role lightly, a bit part in a play. Master Hsing Yun assembled a collection of these stories for you in this volume and his revelation is that nature is the star of the show. There is serious urgency to his message, in our world today we have to start appreciating plants and animals or our planet will be ruined.
