Buddhist Geeks Eco-Meta-Dharma, with David Loy
In this episode, Vince Horn is joined in conversation by long-time mentor and friend, David Loy, to explore his latest on, "EcoDharma: Buddhist Teachings for the Ecological Crisis." Their discussion centers around how this EcoDharma work relates to our current exploration of Metadharma, which we describe as any approach to dharma practice that intentionally seeks to respond to the overlapping crises that humanity now faces.

"I see social evolution as a continuation of biological evolution." - David Loy
"The Ecological Crisis is Earth’s way of telling us, 'Grow up or get out of the way.'" - David Loy
