Wild Mind, Wild Earth
In this conversation with William Edelglass, David Hinton explores how the wisdom, poetry, and practice of Chinese Buddhism invite us to recognize the kinship of mind and nature. Hinton suggests that this relationship needs to be reanimated if we are to address the intersecting ecological crises of our time.
Hinton’s book Wild Mind, Wild Earth: Our Place in the Sixth Extinction investigates how classical Chinese Buddhism, especially Chan, and contemporary environmental thought meet at this critical moment in human history. In this dialogue, Hinton shares poetry and reflections on our place in the more-than-human world.
