Bodhisattva 4.0 is a collection of simple conversation-starters about very difficult questions. It is not meant to provide answers, but rather to encourage mindful reflection and action. The ideas presented here come from a Buddhist perspective, but not in an exclusive way. Good ecology embraces biodiversity and adaptation. In that spirit, Buddhist ecology draws upon ideas that will benefit all of us, irrespective of their origins. We are poised on the inflection point of the fourth industrial revolution. Hence the title of this book, Bodhisattva 4.0. To some, it appears as the dawning of a brave new world. To others, it appears as the precipice above the inferno.
You have before you 108 meditations. They are organized into twelve subject areas, and each area comprises nine topics. Each topic is presented as a two-page spread that includes resources for further study. In total, the book contains more than 500 easily accessible online resources.

This book is designed specifically for Buddhist teachers and community leaders who want to go beyond basic statements of caring for the planet, to understand the complex nature of emerging technologies and their implications, and to chart a course of sustainable development for the world of tomorrow.
As a Buddhist practitioner of some 40+ years, and as environmental activist and a technological design teacher for almost as long, I believe Buddhism has lots to offer in the conversations about Earth's future, but we also have to listen and learn from experts in the field. That's why each topic includes resources for further study and networking, as well as resources presenting some Buddhist context where relevant.
Hopefully, this book will inspire and facilitate your Engaged Buddhist practice and community outreach with new tools. We're all in this together.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
