Sažetak
This article analyzes the nature of the Buddhist contribution to the present ecological debate. For many years, some of the most important doctrines of Buddhism have been suggested as alternatives to the views and ideas believed to be responsible for the current ecological crisis. These doctrines, however, because of their complexity, are sometimes more problematic than useful. Consequently, it is believed that they should be simplified or adapted. The present article first argues that this approach may be compromising the integrity of these doctrines, thus rendering them everything but Buddhist. Secondly, it tries to show that the Buddhist contribution to the present ecological debate should not consist in its ideas per se, but rather in what Buddhist do with them.
