Abstract Buddhist ethical tradition derives its inspiration from the Buddha, the savior of beings. His love of solitude and silence was matched only by his universal compassion towards the suffering of creatures. The core of the Buddha's teachings is a moral code of conduct for everyone. The purpose of this research paper is to explain current ecological concepts, ecological balance, and the preservation of our environment as they relate to Buddhism. The earth is the only planet in our solar system to have been endowed with life. However, the planet's climate is the only reason life has been able to exist here. The study of the relationships between humans, animals, plants, and trees is referred to as ecology. In actuality, the study was started long before the Buddha was born. Ancient Indians had a great deal of interest in plants and saw them as an integral component of their existence. The fact that the first signs of life were discovered in plants is evidence of the Indians' superior mental capacity. They valued the unwavering belief that plants and trees are the first children of Mother Earth. Then the animal showed up. Fauna and flora complement one another. For their existence and sustenance, they are inextricably linked to other people. It is indisputable that plants are essential to the survival of both human and animal existence. As everyone knows, it is almost difficult to list all the advantages that plants provide for us. This paper aims to examine how Buddhism approaches the environmental attitudes.
