Bahusaṅkaṭa (Polycrisis)

It is not possible to explain today's crisis just in terms of environmental discourses, because today's crisis is— at the same time— an ecological, political, economic, social, cultural, psychological, ethical, and epistemological crisis. We designate this dependently co-produced, multidimensional, entangled crisis as bahusaṅkaṭa (i.e., polycrisis)— a crisis that doesn't have a straight forward solution (or for which, no straight forward solution is possible).

Our mission

We define ourselves as a “Mass Media of Resistance”

We seek to understand and analyze the Bahusaṅkaṭa (i.e., Polycrisis: a multidimensional crisis that doesn't have a straight forward solution) in which we all are immersed, along with the Bahuduḥkha (multiform suffering) of all sentient beings, through the lens of Madhyamāpratipada (the Middle Way in Buddhism which is our guiding force). And in collaboration with the broader Ecological Solidarity Movement and the Ecological Solidarity Alliance, we strive to bring the depth of these realities to the forefront of human consciousness.
