I began reading a book by His Holiness the Dalai Lama over the holidays. It's about science and spirituality, and it includes certain aspects of living responsibly with our environment. I found his Web site and emailed him to ask him to explain his ideas a little better, and asked if we could ever truly achieve the "oneness with Nature" he hopes for.
His assistant Wangdue just wrote back this morning:
Dear Matt,
Thank you for your thoughtful mail. His Holiness also takes bath without using soap in order to save water for others' use.I think it is possible for us to achieve a state of equilibrium with nature, if each individual of this world contribute to save the limited resources we have and take initiative to recycle the resources we have already used.
Kind regards,
Sincerely yours,
Wangdue
Assistant
Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama
