Buddha International Shanti Healing Center (Bish Center) has taken a meaningful step toward environmental conservation by purchasing plants worth Rs. 50 lakhs from Mondal Nursery, Kolkata. This initiative reflects Bish Center’s strong commitment to protecting nature while promoting peace, healing, and conscious living.
At Bish Center, healing goes beyond spiritual practices—it extends to caring for the Earth that sustains all life.
A Founder’s Lifestyle Rooted in Compassion and Sustainability
Founded by Badri Gauli, Bish Center is deeply inspired by its founder’s personal values and way of life. Badri Gauli is a strict vegan and a strong advocate for environmental protection, believing that compassion toward all living beings begins with conscious choices.
His vegan lifestyle is not just a diet, but a philosophy—one that emphasizes non-violence, sustainability, and respect for nature. This belief naturally guides Bish Center’s initiatives, including large-scale environmental conservation and plantation efforts.
“Living consciously means minimizing harm—to animals, to nature, and to the planet. Environmental protection is a spiritual responsibility,” says Badri Gauli.
Purpose of the Environmental Initiative
The plants purchased from Mondal Nursery will be used for various environmental and healing-focused projects, including:
- Tree plantation and reforestation programs
- Creation of green, eco-healing, and meditation spaces
- Promotion of native and medicinal plants
- Supporting biodiversity and ecological balance
- Encouraging sustainable and mindful living practices
These efforts align closely with Buddhist teachings of harmony, interdependence, and compassion for all forms of life.
Healing the Earth as a Path to Inner Peace
Bish Center believes that true peace cannot exist without a healthy planet. Environmental conservation is seen as an extension of spiritual practice—where caring for nature becomes a form of meditation and service.
This initiative marks another step forward in Bish Center’s mission to create a world rooted in peace, healing, sustainability, and environmental awareness
