Environmental Ethics of Buddhism
Oyuna V. Dorzhigushaeva and Aryana V. Kiplyuks
Abstract—The article deals with the importance of the moral
potential of Buddhist culture for the formation of ecological
stereotypes of modern human behavior. Rituals, rites and
customs of environmental importance, and the main
philosophical categories of Buddhist ecological ethics that
influenced the attitude to nature in the Baikal region are
considered. The basic provisions of the ecological ethics of
Buddhism, in particular, such concepts as Karma – the
expression of human environmental responsibility, Ahimsa - the
principle of nonviolence, Bodhichitta – kindness and
compassion for all living beings. The special value of these
concepts lies in the fact that they have already had a beneficial
effect on the mentality and ethical culture of the peoples of
many countries, softening the mores and instilling respect for
the Environment.
Index Terms—Environmental ethics, human environmental responsibility, ethical culture, Buddhism, moral, ecological traditions, religious ethics, basic concepts.
