Love Is Action

Love is Action - On the Path of Great Compassion

This newly published book shares profound teachings given by The Gyalwang Drukpa during the 1st European Bike Yatra in both the early morning and evening hours.

The Gyalwang Drukpa's pilgrimages are more than just journeys across the landscape of this earth. They are paths that lead to one's true nature, to greater mindfulness, to a deeper awareness of the need to protect the Earth, and to a new way of living together - in which spirituality means taking responsibility for all forms of life. Only when we understand the importance of the Earth and all living beings does true compassion grow - and with it, the drive to act, preserve, and protect.

What we do to the Earth, we ultimately do to ourselves - because we are not separate from it, even if we have forgotten that. Every tree cut down, every source polluted, and every species lost leaves a wound in our own habitat.

But in the same way, every good deed also heals us: a planted tree provides us with oxygen and beauty, a clean river offers clarity, and a protected animal gives us hope. Those who protect the environment safeguard our hearts, our humanity, and the future generations.
