WelcomeNice to meet you and thanks for stopping by. Hang out for a while. Chat and discuss our world view. On Earth Day some years ago, we decided to start broadcasting to the world episodes of our life philosophy, sometimes things that concern or move us.
This blog is called the “Ecosangha”, that is ‘Eco’ for Ecology. The word ‘Sangha’ comes from the ancient Pali language in India that was spoken around the time of the Gotama or Buddha. It means community. What is the connection, you may ask?
It means community of like-minded people who are concerned for harmony of humans and the Earth. The Sangha stresses the philosophy that is expressed in the Lakota Language as ‘Mitakuye Oyasin’ we are all inter-connected.
Talk to you soon.

Blind Faith Religion
When a religious doctrine is born, the followers are normally asked to have blind faith in the teachings of the founders. This practice is hard to accept in an age where critical thinking is required on a daily basis. Today we are living in an age of ‘time disparity’:...
