His Holiness gave instructions about environmental consciousness.

Gyuto / Dharamsala

His Holiness 17th Karmapa called an audience with all the staff of the Tsurphu Labrang who are working at Gyuto at 2:30 pm. He gave brief introduction about environment consciousness and the problems caused by humans to the natural balance of the environment.

His Holiness 17th Karmapa explained many ways in which the environment can be protected. One simple conduct is by being mindfulness about the products that we use in our daily lives. By tracing out how it was made, starting from the raw material and how much energy it has consumed to get it on our table is a technique that can make us more aware of the environment that we live in. Also mindfulness of the fact that we have a choice and using those products that are eco-friendly is one of the many methods that he has introduced.

His Holiness 17th Karmapa explained that the protection of environment is truly a Buddhist act as it benefits the whole ecosystem.
