With the planet increasingly threatened with catastrophe and perhaps even collapse, many seekers are looking to past, proven models to create meaningful change in their lives. One such model is Buddhism’s Four Noble Truths: the reality of suffering, the root cause of suffering, the end of suffering, and the path to the end of suffering. This fresh, timely book taps and modifies that ancient wisdom to address the pressing environmental and spiritual crises facing us. In The Four Global Truths, author Darrin Drda contends that as global temperatures rise and natural systems decline, humanity is forced to confront the destructiveness of unfettered material progress and mechanistic thinking. He posits a more enlightened worldview that honors the interdependence of all forms of life and aspects of reality, a concept increasingly see as a practical and compassionate approach to averting disaster. Writing in a warm, open style recalling that of Eckhart Tolle in The New Earth, Drda integrates elements of Western philosophy, transpersonal psychology, deep ecology, modern cosmology, and quantum physics to get at the heart of worldwide ecological suffering. In the process he encourages a responsible and joyful—and ultimately healing—participation in this critical moment in life.

As global temperatures rise and natural systems decline, humanity is being forced to confront the darkening shadow of material progress and mechanistic thinking. Meanwhile we are witnessing the dawning of a more enlightened worldview that recognizes the intimate interdependence of all forms of life and all aspects of reality. Somewhere between complete ecological breakdown and universal spiritual breakthrough lies the Middle Way, as presented in The Four Global Truths. Using the durable framework of the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism to address worldwide ecological suffering, outline its causes, anticipate its cessation, and suggest a healing pathway forward, this book also integrates many elements of Western philosophy, transpersonal psychology, deep ecology, modern cosmology, and quantum physics in describing and advocating a more holistic conception of Nature and the Cosmos.

It's the biggest in the world, and some say the best of all! The music, art, and sculpture are truly exceptional. It's an explosion of culture, an incredible spectacle!" Soon I heard a "Hello!" It was time to go in. We met mellow fellow with a weird bearded chin, wearing nothing but a yellow tutu, tattoos, and a grin. "Welcome Home!" he bellowed, "Let the adventure begin!
