Buddhist ecological ethics wisdom is an important ideological resource for dealing with contemporary ecological environmental problems. Compared with Western eco-cultural pluralism and local Confucian and Taoist eco-ethical thinking, Buddhist ecological ethics wisdom is unique and profound regarding theoretical roots and core principles. In-depth study and grasp of the three major dimensions of Buddhist ecological ethics wisdom, namely, cherishing nature, equal mercy, and purifying minds and lands, will make it possible to face the ecological dilemmas in reality and realize the creative transformation and innovative development of its values.
