Tarchin Hearn website
Tarchin has developed a wonderful new and constantly evolving resource - Green Dharma Treasury - which can be viewed at http://www.greendharmatreasury.org
Tarchin writes:
. . . ‘ I have the satisfaction of welcoming you to Green Dharma Treasury, an archive of my various writings and a place for writings yet to come. They are offered with the hope that some of them may inspire your exploration and unfolding and also act as a resource of themes and methods for people who are teaching, facilitating and actively helping others. . .
‘Over the years, I have come to feel that the study, practice and teaching of dharma must address the needs and concerns of people grappling with the many difficulties that face us today. To live well in this time of climate change, shrinking bio-diversity, exponential human population growth, dysfunctional economic and political systems, disintegrating social systems and a rising wave of fundamentalist thinking, is challenging, to say the least. We could try to continue on, as if nothing untoward was happening, believing that more technology and expertise, along with another economic stimulus package will get the system back on its feet. Or we could wake up and admit to what many of us know in our bones; that love and curiosity and wonderment and sharing and creativity and compassion and community, are not just important, but are vital necessities for sustainable living. Green dharma treasury will provide me with the opportunity to link Buddhist philosophy and practice, and a view of interconnectedness and inter-responsibility, with explorations of science, art, education, ethics, personal healing, deep ecology and social action — all together; the art of wise and compassion filled living — ‘green dharma’. May we nourish these qualities in ourselves, in each being that we meet, and in all of us together as a living, caring, community.’

http://eastwestwisdoms.com is a web site linking Buddhadharma and Buddhist psychology with Western psychological and psychotherapeutic ideas and practices. Jacqui and Alan Dodds – who run the site – are members of our sangha, as we have for many years together attended teachings and retreats given by the late Venerable Namgyal Rinpoche, Tarchin Hearn (New Zealand), Cecily Kwiat (Canada) and Bonnie Ross (Canada). Jacqui’s professional background as a psychotherapist who practices and teaches Buddhist psychotherapy is the impetus for East West Wisdoms’ linking of Eastern and Western ideas about the mind and about healing.
http://eastwestwisdoms.com is currently offering:
audio interviews with relevant spiritual and psychotherapeutic figures, including such people as His Holiness the Sakya Trizin;
posts offering informal reflections on different aspects of Buddhadharma, especially drawing on Tibetan Buddhist teachings;
blog posts reflecting on Buddhist and Western psychological differences and similarities;
reviews on books that have moved Jacqui.
