Eco-Dharma Center – Tashi Gatsel Ling "Our mother earth is teaching us a lesson in universal responsibility. This blue planet is a delightful habitat. Its life is our life; its future, our future. Indeed, the earth acts like a mother to us all; as her children, we are dependent on her. In the face of the global problems we are going through it is important that we must all work together." ~ His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama
