Abstract現代人正面臨有史以來最嚴重的生態危 機,空氣,水,土壤等自然資
源的汙染,山林和 溼地的過度開發,野生動物的被濫殺等,均威脅 到人類生存的
環境. 許多人試圖以科技來解決 這些問題,但往往反而衍生更多的問題,此乃
因環保的挑戰並不僅限於科技層面,更重要 的,它還牽涉到人類的價值觀,人
與自然的關 係,人如何看待萬物等問題. 換言之,環保意 識須建立在倫理和
哲學上,再加上科學的輔 助,才能落實環保工作. 本文即是試圖探討生 態倫理
和哲學的問題,第一部分探討的是佛教 最積極的自然觀中「無情有性」的意義,
第二 部分討論西方「深層生態學」(deep ecology)的意 義及其受佛教的影響.
佛教的「一切眾生(甚 至於草木) 皆可成佛」的平等和尊重生命的思 想確實可
作西方人建立新的生態哲學的啟示.

Summary
Environmental destruction has been a big problem to many Western
Industrial countries. In seeking a solution to the ecological crisis, many
people turned to Eastern religions, especially Buddhism. The core of its
teachings rejects dualism and anthropocentrism and assumes the ultimate
oneness of all of the nature's components. The enlightenment of insentient
beings taught by the T'ien-t'ai School demonstrates the ultimate
reverence and respect for nature.

The first part of this article deals with Buddhahood of the plant world.
The two most important Chinese Buddhists concerned with this theory were
Chi-t' sang of the San Lun School and Chan-jan of the T'ien-t'ai School.
I discuss their thought and different viewpoints.

The second part deals with the philosophy of Aldo Leopold's environmental
ethics and Arne Naess's deep ecology. I show how the principles of their
philosophy find a powerful source of support in the concept of Buddhahood
in the plant world.
