What the hell is going on in the US?  Trumps new budget proposal is a proposal to defund and deconstruct the US government, defund any humanitarian or climate related research or funding at a time where science is clear about the dangers of climate change and global warming, as well as the unfolding of the most important humanitarian crisis on the planet since WWII with a possible famine for populations in Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria and South Sudan.  It's time for a revolution my friends. I am ready.  Are you? Get Ralph Nader's book Breaking Through Power: its easier than we think.

“Climate change is undeniably an immediate, global threat and unless some radical moves are taken, the earth will be largely uninhabitable within 50 to 100 years (Kin Chi, 2011).”1

“Many climate and emissions milestones were reached over the past year. Fourteen of the fifteen hottest years on record have occurred since 2000, with 2015 on track to be the first year to top 1 °C average warming globally. This year, the Earth also topped 400 ppm in average monthly atmospheric CO2 concentration for the first time in at least 800,000 years. We have already emitted two thirds of the total carbon allocation to the atmosphere that would ensure at least a 66% chance of limiting global temperature increases to below 2 °C.”1

The powerful ontological paradigm of Buddhist Tibetan nomadic life is meaningfully non-materialistic. From this metaphysical space emerges the lotus of ecological consciousness at the heart of the mystical. Nomadic life flows with the dynamic rhythm of seasons. 

The whimsical reverence for nature embodied in Buddhist religious ontological symbolism functions as ecological stewardship mythos. Dr William Rees, former director of the University of British Columbia’s School of Community and Regional Planning in Vancouver, the originator of ecological footprint analysis, discusses the key function of myths. Dr Rees explains that myths exist in every culture as a ‘social construction of reality (Rees).’1 Buddhism mythologized earth stewardship, as in the wildly poetic examples of the ontological belief of the sacredness of lakes and mountains as divine dwellings, or supernatural sanctuaries. 

As conscious living beings we have the responsibility to protect that which is sacred.
