THE ECOLOGICAL SPIRIT OF BUDDHISM IN VIETNAMESE STORIES ON ANIMALS WRITTEN AFTER 1986

Thanh Truyền Bùi

Main Article Content

Abstract

Being a widely-known and long-standing religion, the ecological spirit of Buddhism explicitly expresses its topicality and significance in this changeable and vulnerable world. Compassion and respect to all species’ lives; the perception of giving up all lusts and greeds to create the environment and the universe; and ecological enlightenment are Buddhist characteristics identified in Vietnamese stories about animals during the Đổi mới (Renovation) economic reforms.

Keywords
