Lao Socialism with Buddhist Characteristics

https://monthlyreview.org/2025/04/01/lao-socialism-with-buddhist-characteristics/

Through the doctrine of karma, it encourages a prudent approach to natural resource use and discourages greed and overexploitation. This ecological ethic has shaped Lao environmental policies and practices, fostering the integration of 'green growth' principles into national development strategies.

A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
