LandBuddhism

LandBuddhism is a term that has emerged to describe a contemporary interpretation of Buddhist principles that emphasizes a deep connection with the natural world and the environment. It is not a formally recognized school or lineage of Buddhism, but rather a conceptual framework that integrates ecological awareness into Buddhist practice and philosophy. Proponents of LandBuddhism often draw upon traditional Buddhist teachings regarding impermanence, interdependence, and compassion, extending these concepts to encompass all sentient beings and the natural systems that support them.

The core tenets of LandBuddhism often include a commitment to environmental stewardship, sustainable living, and activism aimed at protecting ecosystems. Practices may involve mindful engagement with nature, such as meditation in natural settings, and a conscious effort to reduce one's ecological footprint. The philosophy behind LandBuddhism suggests that a healthy planet is intrinsically linked to the well-being of all beings, including humans, and that spiritual liberation can be pursued through a harmonious relationship with the Earth. This approach seeks to address contemporary ecological crises by grounding solutions in ancient wisdom traditions.
