There is nothing more urgent or decisive than the climate crisis that the planet is going through. Great contemporary Buddhist leaders have emphasized that Buddhism has much to contribute to the dialogue on climate change. Voices such as that of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Thích Nhất Hạnh, or Bhikkhu Bodhi, to give examples from three Buddhist traditions, have analyzed the causes of the crisis and made calls for action. In these Buddhism and Ecology Days, we offer a Buddhist perspective to the various ecological problems that plague us. We will analyze how the teachings of the Dharma can contribute to resolving or mitigating the climate emergency. We will provide a vision of ecology from the various Buddhist traditions. We will present visions from ecofeminism, Amerindian perspectives, or interreligious dialogue. And we will hear the voices of Buddhist women who provide their wisdom so that we learn to live in a more responsible way to the Earth and to all the species with which we share the planet. Organized by the Ibero-American Network for the Study of Buddhism (RIEB) in collaboration with the Dharma-Gaia Foundation.
