Buddhism has always advocated protecting and not killing life. To protect life and to abstain from killing means respecting all living beings.
All living beings depend on the earth to survive; the earth is humanity’s home. The earth protects our lives and supplies us with resources for survival.
Without the earth, where would humanity and all living beings reside? Thus when the earth is facing devastating damages and gasping for breath, since we regard ourselves as “masters of the myriad creations of this earth,” we must be the first to protect the environment by caring for wildlife and nature, not carelessly killing, planting trees, preventing excessive deforestation, protecting water resources, disposing of waste properly, using commodities sparingly, and recycling.
