"Do No Harm"

September 1, 2019 - Sermon by Rev. Patricia Guthmann Haresch - We might speak as though being concerned about our carbon footprint, or how we impact or damage the world around us, are new ideas. But, concepts like “The Golden Rule” and “do no harm” have been asserted in philosophical and religious traditions for thousands of years - none more intense than in Jainism, an ancient religion that pre-dates and gave rise to Buddhism. Jainism is concerned with the welfare of all living beings and organisms, not just humans.
