"We don't really know what's going to happen but we do know what we're doing," she says. "If your efforts exhaust you and you die that's a good way to go." She urges people not to give up, even if it kills them. 'I've been telling people for years and ordered people to do things and it just doesn't keep on not happening'

Is it still possible to create a more beautiful future for life on earth, or are we now merely stewards for the dying process of our world? How do we live with the weight of this uncertainty? Soryu Forall responds to these questions during a recent lecture at the Monastic Academy.

Soryu is the founder and head teacher at the Monastic Academy for the Preservation of Life on Earth (MAPLE). You can hear my previously recorded conversation with Soryu by clicking here.
