Joanna Macy on the transition to a life-sustaining society
In this article eco-philosopher and Buddhist scholar Joanna Macy introduces us to the bardo, the Tibetan Buddhist concept of a gap between worlds where transition is possible.
"We are in a space without a map. With the likelihood of economic collapse and climate catastrophe looming, it feels like we are on shifting ground, where old habits and old scenarios no longer apply. In Tibetan Buddhism, such a space or gap between known worlds is called a bardo. It is frightening. It is also a place of potential transformation."
