• A Buddhist Concept of Nature

  On February 4, 1992, the 14th Dalai Lama delivers a speech in New Delhi, India on the Buddhist view of Nature, the basic elements, and the Universe. He extracts evidence from Buddhist teachings, evolution biology, and social anthropology to emphasize the interdependence and interrelationship between the environment and the inhabitants. By examining the current state of international political tensions and environmental degradation, he calls for the cultivation of universal responsibility which is based on love, compassion, and clear awareness.
