Description

In May 2008, Buddhist and Christian monastics gathered at Gethsemani Abbey, Kentucky, to discuss how their respective religions conceived of our relationship with the planet, and what they felt was the responsibility of their faith traditions, orders, and individual communities toward healing both our inner and outer ecology. Green Monasticism collects the wisdom of these scholars and practitioners in a volume that reflects both deep engagement with and critical thinking about protecting the environment. "We need people of faith to encourage us to find ways to live more sustainably and responsibly on our planet. Monastic communities embody values such as modesty, thrift, and gratitude, and we can be inspired by their commitment and dedication to these ideals. Green Monasticism encompasses their voices and aspirations, and I welcome its contribution to the environmental debate, which is the most urgent challenge of our time."---Wangari Maathai, 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, author of Unbowed and The Challenge for Africa "A unique contribution to the growing literature in the area of religion and ecology. It draws on the experience and reflection of those trying to live the monastic challenge in the midst of our massive environmental crisis. The essays convey a deep wisdom honed over time and convey a longing for the flourishing of the community of life."---Mary Evelyn Tucker, Forum on Religion and Ecology, Yale University "There is much wisdom for everyone contained in both Buddhist and Christian monastic practice, as there is in the Gethsemani dialogues. Green Monasticism will encourage others to continue this vital discussion and make monastic practice even more relevant to today's social and environmental challenges."---Ven. Yifa, author of Discernment
