Voices from the Parliament of the World’s Religions – Sulak Sivaraksa

Climate Change was one of the major focuses of the Parliament of the World’s Religions which met 3-9 December in Melbourne, Australia.

Film-maker Ashley Young has captured some of the voices from the Parliament, in partnership with Initiatives of Change and Martin Frick from the Global Humanitarian Forum, with the intention that these voices might be heard in Copenagen.  I will post these one per day on this blog, but if you are inpatient, you can access them all here.

Meanwhile, here is the first – Martin Frick interviewing Nobel Peace Prize nominee Sulak Sivaraksa, founder of the Network of Engaged Buddhists.

About buberfan

Married with two sons, I've spent most of my professional life working for a not-for-profit organization working for peace and reconciliation. Like any parent I think about the state of the planet we will be handing to our children and we try to do the best for our kids in terms of healthy, conscious that we often swimming against the tide of consumerism and video screen addiction. This blog started out as a place to share our discoveries about health issues, from a holistic perspective, but will occasionaly step onto broader issues. In case you are wondering about my Nickname, I am a fan of the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber who was really concerned about relationships of all kinds - as am I.
