Green Buddhism Facing the Climate Challenge: Interdependence & Action

Manifeste officiel de la renaissance de Buddhachannel - Vingt-quatre ans d'histoire et un nouveau départ pour la transmission du Dharma.

As climate disruption destabilizes the fundamental balances of the biosphere, the convergence between environmental ethics and the Buddhist tradition appears more necessary and fruitful than ever.

What is today referred to as Eco-Buddhism or Green Buddhism extends far beyond a simple naturalist sensibility: it involves a complete re-foundation of our perspective on living beings, based on an intimate understanding of universal interdependence (Pratītyasamutpāda).

If no being exists in isolation or independently, every harm done to forests, waterways, and species diversity directly affects us. This Eco-Buddhist commitment inextricably links joyful sobriety, solidarity-based protection of the most vulnerable, and shared responsibility towards future generations.
