Abstract The concept “ecological feminism” or “ecofeminism” was introduced by the French feminist, Francoise d＇ Eaubonne, in 1974, and reflects the relationship between feminism and ecological ethics. Although ecofeminism has been popular in the West for more than 30 years, it is still an undeveloped topic in the Chinese-speaking world. The most renowned cyberfeminist, Donna Haraway, claims that cyborg is the symbol for future feminism. If feminists need any guidance or inspiration, they should look toward future, toward technology and science and cyborg rather than back to the goddess-worshipping Spiritual Ecofeminism. It may seem far-fetching to connect cyberfeminism and ecofeminism together, but actually cyberfeminism actually holds great hope for ecofeminism by breaking down the duality of human nature, human animal and even male female. The sinolized Avalokitesvara can be seen as a better image for ecofeminism and future feminisms than Haraway＇ s cyborg and Western goddesses. The concept of becoming in Gilles Deleuze＇ s geophilosophy can be understood through the image of Avalokitesvara.
