Indigenous Wisdom
I find the indigenous wisdom so aligned with the teachings of Buddha. Both indigenous cultures and Buddhism emphasize the interconnectedness of all beings and the importance of living in harmony with nature. Just as indigenous wisdom recognizes the earth as a provider and urges us to respect and care for it, Buddha taught the principles of mindfulness, compassion, and non-harm towards all living beings. I know there are many other philosophies in the world with similar insights. It’s just another reminder to learn to live more mindfully and work towards a more harmonious coexistence with both the natural environment and fellow beings.
