Description
Summary:It is indeed remarkable to find ecologically significant statements in Buddhist doctrines. Long before environmental disasters made their diabolical appearances and there by forced us to understand the inter-connection of things, Buddhist teachers knew very well such insight was crucial for the welfare of humanity.

The article provides an ecological vision based on early Buddhist literature.
