The Sheltering Grove of Interdependence
Add to this grove

Under a tree the great sage Buddha was born.
Under a tree he overcame passion
And obtained enlightenment.
Under two trees he passed into Nirvana.
Indeed, the Buddha held trees in great esteem.
-Dalai Lama XIV



The Buddhist Climate Project offers you participation in the creation of a large grove of native trees in the restored Caledonian Forest of Scotland. Trees can be donated to this grove throughout 2009, in the run up to the crucial United Nations Climate Conference, COP-15 in Copenhagen December 2009. The grove will then be designed and planted in Spring 2010. Its name has been based upon the Dalai Lama's verse prayer The Sheltering Tree of Interdependence.

The Time to Act is Now.We need to move together towards an economy that provides a satisfactory standard of living for everyone while allowing us to develop our full (including spiritual) potential in harmony with the biosphere that sustains and nurtures all beings, including future generations.Future generations, and the other species that share the biosphere with us, have no voice to ask for our compassion, wisdom, and leadership.

We must be their voice, too, and act on their behalf.Helen Angel For the well-being of His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama & His Holiness the XVII Gyalwang Karmapa on this planet.... in infinite gratitude for the thousandfold benefits of their teachings, specially around this time....
