"Well-researched and accessibly written, this book applies cutting-edge theory in Buddhist ethics to the crucial issue of the environment. Given the urgency of the climate crisis and the influence of Buddhism globally, its unique effort to describe a praxis or applied theory is highly important and timely. Simonds builds on previous work in Buddhist ethics by incorporating Tibetan Buddhist categories and frameworks to form a promising environmental ethic." — Barbra Clayton, Mount Allison University
