The Chinese Buddhist community has become a global leader in grappling with climate change, says Venerable Yifa, founder of a Buddhist learning program for United States college students called the Woodenfish Foundation.
“If you search about Buddhism and climate change, you will find out that everybody talks about it,” Venerable Yifa told a UC Santa Barbara audience at a lecture last week. “You will find a lot of Buddhist activists working on these issues.”
