What we can learn from Ubuntu, Buen Vivir and Happiness on harmony with Nature - Dr. Dorine van Norren

Asked about what they value in life, (South)Africans often explain the concept of Ubuntu. With this they mean brother/sisterhood, sharing and compassion; being a person through other persons. They also said that this care extends to nature too. When asked the same question, the people in Bhutan emphasize Buddhist culture and finding inner peace and harmony. They have declared this as a national policy: Gross National Happiness (GNH). In this guardianship with nature also plays an important role. The (indigenous) people in Ecuador responded that for them the right way of living is living in harmony with nature; they call that Good Living, or Buen Vivir.Article by Dr. Dorine van Norren, illustrated by Iris Relindehttps://theanthro.art/what-we-can-learn-from-ubuntu-buen-vivir-and-happiness-on-harmony-with-nature/
