How a monk and a Hippo joined forces to tackle Bangkok’s plastic pollution
Desperate to restore the Chao Praya River to a pristine state, an abbot in the Thai capital began recycling in his temple. Now he has a floating ally in his efforts to clean up the river.
The Chao Phraya River is the largest waterway flowing through central Thailand.
In Bangkok, it is an artery for a network of water buses, ferries and wooden long-tail boats. But it's not just carrying people. According to research by the Rotterdam-based non-profit organisation Ocean Cleanup, the Chao Praya River carries 4,000 tonnes of plastic waste to the sea every year.
Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, walks through Wat Chak Daeng on July 30, 2024 in Bangkok. The HIPPO project by Seven Clean Seas, in collaboration with Wat Chak Daeng temple, uses a solar-powered vessel to collect plastic waste from Bangkok's Chao Phraya River and recycles it to reduce environmental pollution. Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, leads a project at Wat Chak Daeng that turns plastic waste into monk robes, upcycling around 40 tons of plastic since 2015 and serving as a model for environmental conservation.

'Rise up': monks urge WA towns to fight minerals exploration in vulnerable Jarrah forests
After seeing off a bid to explore near the Bodhinyana monastery, the forest monks are encouraging others to 'keep the pressure on'
Buddhist monks who have sought enlightenment in a globally unique forest in Western Australia are standing defiant after fighting off an attempt to explore their area for minerals.
Conservationists say the northern Jarrah forest in the state's south-west, already under pressure from climate change, is the target of several mining companies looking to explore for minerals needed for the clean energy transition.
Now the forest monks of the Bodhinyana monastery, south of Perth, are encouraging other communities to "rise up" and object to the wave of applications.

They moved to a Buddhist retreat in rural America. Have they found happiness?
Nestled in Arkansas, the Buddhist center Katog Rit’hröd is remote and summers are sweltering.
Nestled in the gorgeousness of the Ozarks, the center is remote - three miles down a dirt road with blind turns and across a low bridge that floods impassably up to 45 days a year. Nearby medical care is limited. Summers are sweltering, and the center's tree-quilted acres are home to swarms of chiggers and mosquitoes, disease-carrying ticks and poisonous spiders. Many practitioners' families are hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away.
Yet every few years since Katog Rit’hröd's founding in 2007, another handful of people move into the center's wooden cabins or purchase homes in the surrounding hillsides. During non-pandemic years, as many as 250 additional practitioners come to the center for two- to eight-week retreats, staying in the center's community lodge or camping on the property by donation.

The homes belong to pracititioners who both live there year round or visit occasionally. They all include large porches and simple, efficient interiors. The 'off grid' homes utilize solar power arrays, water storage tanks and often composting outdoor toilets and sit on at least 5 acres each.

The road to Katog crosses the Little Buffalo River with a concrete slab a short distance before arriving at the Katog Choling Mountain Retreat Center in Parthenon, AR on October 26, 2022. The local rainfall affects ingress and egress to Katog because of this slab crossing. According to Katog resident Caitlin Grussing, there were about 45 days in 2021 where the road was impassible due to high water.

'Honey-child, listen to me': a radical Buddhist nun on how to be happy in a crazy world.
From a Catholic convent school in Melbourne to death row in America, Robina Courtin has learned a few things about happiness, suffering ... and Donald Trump.
'Our problem is we think the outside world is the main cause of our suffering - and our happiness,' says Buddhist nun Robina Courtin.
Since she was ordained, 44 years ago, Courtin has worked as an editor of Buddhist magazines and books. In 1996, after receiving a letter from a young Mexican American former gangster serving three life sentences in a maximum security prison in California, she founded the Liberation Prison Project, a nonprofit that offers Buddhist teachings and support to people in prison.
Robina Courtin is a Buddhist nun in the Tibetan Buddhist Gelugpa tradition and lineage of Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. In 1996 she founded the Liberation Prison Project, which she ran until 2009.
