Our Ecosattva vows are modelled on the Bodhisattva vows:<br><br><em>I vow:<br><br>To live in Earth more lightly in the food, products and energy I consume.<br><br>To commit myself daily to the healing of the world and the welfare of all beings; to discern and replace human systems of oppression and harm.<br><br>To invite personal discomfort as an opportunity to share in our collective liberation.<br><br>To draw inspiration from the living Earth, ancestors and future generations.<br><br>To help others in their work for the world and to ask for help when I feel the need.<br><br>To pursue a daily spiritual practice that supports me in observing these vows.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE-FAB&nbsp;checklists &amp; goal planning sheets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SEE-FAB <\/strong>(Sustainable Environment on Earth For All Beings) aims to help any Buddhist centre or organisation assess and optimise its environmental sustainability.
