Editorial
By Michael Elsmere
In this issue of Mountain Silence we had hoped to be able to offer articles and a variety of views regarding the relationship between Buddhism and Ecology. Due however to the lack of contributions we are focussing instead on the forthcoming visit of Tenshin Reb Anderson to Hebden Bridge and London in July 2013.
I will be stepping down as editor with effect from this issue and Chris Brown will assume this position with the Summer issue of Mountain Silence which, in future, will become a diary of events and carry announcements of news of interest.
Many thanks to Josh Zatz for his interesting book review..
