Features: As one of the spiritual cores of Eastern culture, Buddhism holds an advantage in the interaction between Eastern and Western cultures. It also plays a positive role in reconstructing the main belief structure of human society and promoting the true development of world peace. In response to the numerous practical issues in contemporary society, such as those related to nature, society, and spirituality, Buddhism's principles of non-duality, the quality of benefiting oneself while benefiting others, and self-purification through practice are conducive to maintaining ecological balance. However, fostering social customs and practicing self-criticism are key to Buddhism's active role in society.
