To make environmental protection and ecological balance a reality Master Sheng Yen established a basic policy for the construction of the Dharma Drum Mountain complex based on the idea of Protecting the Spiritual Environment. During the construction process, the first priority was preserving the original habitat by transplanting trees and through dredging work, as well as using building materials, energy-efficient systems, and rainwater recycling systems, as an effort for sustainable use of resources, enabling native creatures to thrive in harmony and flourish in safety.
