Red het klimaat
Hoewel overstromingen en bosbranden de wereld teisteren en het klimaatakkoord wankelt, is de hoop op een gezondere planeet nog niet vervlogen. Steeds meer mensen zijn zich bewuster van de invloed van hun keuzes op het milieu en overal ter wereld ontstaan toegewijde actiegroepen. De Dalai Lama doet in dit inspirerende pamflet een oproep om gepassioneerd te werken aan een betere planeet en jezelf de vraag te stellen: Wat kan ík doen?

About the author
Dalai Lama XIV
1,553 books6,195 followersJetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso (born Lhamo Döndrub), the 14th Dalai Lama, is a practicing member of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism and is influential as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, the world's most famous Buddhist monk, and the leader of the exiled Tibetan government in India.
Tenzin Gyatso was the fifth of sixteen children born to a farming family. He was proclaimed the tulku (an Enlightened lama who has consciously decided to take rebirth) of the 13th Dalai Lama at the age of two.
On 17 November 1950, at the age of 15, he was enthroned as Tibet's ruler. Thus he became Tibet's most important political ruler just one month after the People's Republic of China's invasion of Tibet on 7 October 1950. In 1954, he went to Beijing to attempt peace talks with Mao Zedong and other leaders of the PRC. These talks ultimately failed.
After a failed uprising and the collapse of the Tibetan resistance movement in 1959, the Dalai Lama left for India, where he was active in establishing the Central Tibetan Administration (the Tibetan Government in Exile) and in seeking to preserve Tibetan culture and education among the thousands of refugees who accompanied him.
Tenzin Gyatso is a charismatic figure and noted public speaker. This Dalai Lama is the first to travel to the West. There, he has helped to spread Buddhism and to promote the concepts of universal responsibility, secular ethics, and religious harmony.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, honorary Canadian citizenship in 2006, and the United States Congressional Gold Medal on 17 October 2007.

Medeleven en universele verantwoordelijkheid gaan de wereld redden, mensen. Alhoewel ik me nog steeds afvraag hoe die tot stand zullen komen.

De boodschap is duidelijk: wij mensen moeten in actie komen om de klimaatverandering te stoppen. Dat wordt op veel verschillende manieren opgeschreven waardoor de kracht van herhaling op een gegeven moment wel een beetje teveel werd. Maar niemand kan later zeggen dat we niet gewaarschuwd zijn...

De naam Dalai Lama wordt hier gebruikt om boeken te verkopen. Het is vooral Franz Alt die je hier hoort, en als de Dalai Lama aan het woord is gaat het vooral over Greta Thunberg omat zij toendertijd zo gehyped werd. De samenvatting van het pamflet is: leef duurzamer, jij kan het verschil maken, oh maar wees politiek actief want zij kunnen ook een boel veranderen. Ik had graag meer vanuit de boedhistische invalshoek willen horen maar helaas.
