Sustainability & Buddhism: Sustainability Today
In this timely essay, Tergar Institute student Eli Winkelman explores sustainability beyond “green” buzzwords, reframing it through Buddhist insight as a foundation for collective wellbeing. Drawing on environmental science, social research, and contemplative practice, he examines the interdependence of ecological stability, economic systems, and human flourishing, and outlines pathways for transformation at the personal, local, and global levels—inviting sustainability to be seen not as sacrifice, but as the conditions for a thriving world.
