Plucked from a humble nomad family to become the leader of one of Tibet’s oldest Buddhist lineages, the young Seventeenth Karmapa draws on timeless values to create an urgent ethic for today’s global community.

We have always been, and will always be, interconnected—through family, community, and shared humanity. As our planet changes and our world grows smaller, it is vital we not only recognize our connections to one another and to the earth but also begin actively working together as interdependent individuals to create a truly global society.

The Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, is uniquely positioned to guide us in this process. Drawing on years of intensive Buddhist training and a passionate commitment to social issues, he teaches how we can move from a merely intellectual understanding to a fully lived experience of connection. By first seeing, then feeling, and finally living these connections, we can become more effective agents of social and ethical change.

The Karmapa shows us how gaining emotional awareness of our connectedness can fundamentally reshape the human race. He then guides us to action, showing step by step how we can change the way we use the earth’s resources and can continue to better our society. In clear language, the Karmapa draws connections between such seemingly far-flung issues as consumer culture, loneliness, animal protection, and self-reliance. In the process, he helps us move beyond theory to practical and positive social and ethical change.

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

At a time when there seems to be an unstoppable engine leading humanity over a cliff, here is a voice trying to speak to our hearts, reminding us of our common bond, and of our responsibility to care for each other, for other living beings, and for the Earth. It is an immense challenge to attempt to fathom the degree to which we are interconnected, and to attempt to live from within that understanding. Here, the Karmapa offers encouragement along with inspiration, and advises us to 'bring our most noble aspirations out into the world, share them with others, and take action.'

A beacon of hope

August 7, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Interconnected presents a deceptively common-sense but ultimately subtle and far-reaching antidote to the power- and fear-based attitudes that pervade our culture and politics. For many of us who seek a path beyond the anger and polarization of the present time, this book represents a beacon of hope.
