Tisdag 23 september hade vi vår första träff i EkoDharma Forumet. Vi var sammanlagt 20 personer.

Gunaketu presenterade ett tal som Sangharakshita höll år 1984. Talet handlade om det hot som utgår från kärnvapenkrig. Det var lätt att dra paralleller med det hot som utgår från klimatkrisen. Såväl kärnvapenkrig som klimatkrisen hotar att förstöra de förutsättningar som gör det möjligt att existera på jorden. Det gäller inte bara för oss människor utan även för allt annat levande.
