The teachings on the Five Elements (i.e., Space, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth) are an essential aspect of the
Vajrayana path of Tantric Buddhism. This fact is easily witnessed through the Elements' primordial
integration with the Buddha Families themselves. In order to introduce practitioners to these sacred
teachings, Karma Rinpoche will focus on the relationship of the Elements to the health of the human
body, and on our harmonization with environmental forces, understood in terms of those local spirits who
may bring peace or strife to our "natural" world, both personally and collectively. These teachings are
fundamental for any effective environmental activism and to the well-being of sentient life in general.
