Abstract | The current environmental crisis we are all facing brings to our attention the critical need for some kind of individual and collective change of outlook and behavior for human survival as well as the survival of other species. This process includes creating a positive,sustainable lifestyle for the future which requires a healthy mental and behavioral transformation. In the first section of this paper,some of today's critical environmentally related issues found throughout the world are addressed. The Origin and Nature of the Current Crisis is detailed and some Positive Benefits that are Happening in Today's World are presented. Next,the reader is introduced to an ethical basis for the necessary transformation to occur which is found in Original Buddhism. Later Developments of Environmental Ethics related to the spreading of Buddhism to other areas of Asia are included in this section as well as a piece on Humanistic Buddhist Environmental Ethics as Expressed by Venerable Master Hsing Yun of the Fo Guang Buddhist Order. Finally,the Role that Humanistic Buddhism Can Play in Dealing with the Environmental Crisis is offered as a positive alternative to the current,predominant ethical basis which has contributed the crisis. In summary,the critical nature of the current environmental crisis, created by humans because of their ignorance and attachments, is the focus of this paper. Some useful contributions that Buddhist philosophy and practice can make to its solution are offered. A serious personal and cultural transformation based on Mind. Body and Spiritual integration is the key element for future sustainable life on this planet earth. 我們目前面臨的生態環境危機使我們注意到某些迫切的需要,需要改變個人和集體觀念和行為,以確保人類和其他生物的生存. 這過程包括確立一種正面的,能讓人類將來繼續生存的生活方式,這就需要健全的心理和行為的轉變. 本文的第一部分涉及到當今整個世界遇到的嚴重的環境問題,並詳細討論了當前危機的起源和性質以反當今世界正在出現的一些有和因素. 接下來的一章介紹了原始佛教理論中關於促進人們的行為轉變的倫理基礎,包括後期的環境倫理的發展,這些發展與佛教傳播到亞洲其他地區也有關係,還有佛光山星雲大師詮釋的人間佛教的環境倫理. 文章最後討論了人間佛教在環境危機中可能發揮的作用. 人間佛教做為正面因素可以替代當前占主導地位的倫理基礎,而這個倫理基礎加重了危機. 總的說來,當前環境保護方面出現的危機,是由人們的無知和執著造成的,這點是本文強調的重點. 本文提出了一些運用佛教哲學和修行的方法來解決問題的可能性. 作者認為,建立在心身和精神的結合上的個人和文化方面的轉變是未來地球上生命延續的重要因素. |
