Buddhist Thoughts on Nature
The 12th Rule of Love
Below
Buddhists view nature as an interconnected, dynamic system, seeing all life as interdependent and inherently valuable, emphasizing a gentle, respectful, and non-exploitative relationship based on mindfulness, compassion, and the understanding of impermanence (anicca). Nature isn't sacred in a divine sense but is a teacher of core Buddhist principles like change and interconnectedness, with environmental care seen as integral to personal and spiritual health.
The 12th Rule of Love
By Shams of Tabriz
There are more fake gurus and false teachers in this world than the number of stars in the visible universe. Don’t confuse power-driven, self-centered people with true mentors. A genuine spiritual master will not direct your attention to himself or herself and will not expect absolute obedience or utter admiration from you, but instead will help you to appreciate and admire your inner self. True mentors are as transparent as glass. They let the light of God pass through them.
Venerable Ayang Rinpoche
