GREEN DHARMA

SENTIENT BEINGS ARE NUMBERLESS; I VOW TO SAVE THEM

This is the first of the four Great Vows, a set of paradoxes that embody the spirit of Mahayana Buddhism, the school of Buddhism whose traditional home is Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Tibet and China.

Being GREEN for a Buddhist is to have compassion for the planet, not excluding anything: People, animals, plants, and minerals.
