About the activity
An Inexhaustible Lamp: Dharmic Responses in an Age of Collapse
The fifth annual Triratna Earth Sangha conference
The image of the Inexhaustible Lamp occurs in the Vimalakirti Nirdesa, a Mahayana text: The Inexhaustible Lamp can be likened to a single lamp kindling thousands of lamps. All dark regions are illuminated, and yet the light is not exhausted. In the same way, a single Bodhisattva leads hundreds of thousands of sentient beings to liberation, inciting them to arouse the heart’s aspiration towards incomparable supreme Enlightenment, and this activity of theirs is also inexhaustible.
In the past year or two we’re hearing less and less in the news about the Climate and Ecological Emergencies. And yet we all know that they continue and intensify – this summer was the warmest on record in the UK – and may lead to collapse. How do we live with this awareness? Where do we find resilience in turbulent times? What are the radical Buddhist approaches for transformative adaptation? What perspectives can the Triratna Buddhist Community offer?
This year’s conference will showcase papers, workshops, guided meditations, pujas, music, poetry and the visual arts.
