Abstract

This article aims to study ecosystem management through an integrated Buddhist approach by applying Buddhist teachings alongside modern ecological concepts to create a balanced and sustainable environmental management framework. Key Buddhist principles such as Idappaccayata (the Law of Dependent Origination), Ahimsa (non-violence), and the Middle Way are utilized as analytical frameworks for fostering peaceful coexistence between humans and nature. The article also presents case studies of communities that have effectively applied Buddhist principles in natural resource conservation. The analysis reveals that Buddhist-oriented ecosystem management can enhance ecological consciousness and promote sustainable development at both individual and community levels. Integrating Buddhist principles with scientific approaches is thus presented as a novel and promising method for addressing long-term environmental challenges.
