| Abstract | 佛法提供評估世界發展的性質和方向的方法，足以讓我們思維社會和經濟政策會增加或減少人類痛苦的程度. 這正是過去追求現代化和西化常常忽略的部分.
目前的經濟發展方向，已增大了財富的不平均，耗盡了自然資源，破壞了環境，把人們從文化中抽離了出來. 經濟發展完全以表現在公司文化上的牟利為導向，致使不滿意之聲迭起.
佛法說，苦之因是貪瞋痴，這些情況在現代社會中仍然未曾稍減，且產生以取得財物為主價值的消費文化. 人間淨土的建立，需要我們重新發現吾人文化和傳統中的精神價值. 我們已忘記人類的相互關係，故產生現代文明的悲哀. 淨土就是以這種認識為基礎的社區，其主導力量是慈悲而非競爭.
淨土需要個人對自由和責任的承認. 我設計了各種活動，引道我們重新思考存在的精神層面，以期建立人間淨土.
取代消費主義的專案，須降服這個新的魔鬼宗教，並且努力重建社區的價值標準. 我們須召開來自各個社區的代表會議，以交換和分享經驗.
「精神教育運動」是個結合精神教法和認識世界的教育計劃，以取代支離破碎的現代教育. 一切活動都依四聖諦的基本智慧而設計，以建立人間淨土為目標.
Buddhist teachings provide a means of evaluating the nature and direction of global development. The significance of the approach is that it entails a consideration of the extent to which social and economic policies tend to contribute to or diminish human suffering. This aspect is often obscured in the quest for modernization and westernization.
The present course of economic development has enhanced disparities in wealth, depleted natural resources, devastated the environment and alienated people from their culture. It is directed by the profit motive embodied in the corporate culture and is oblivious to the extent of the discontentment that is generation.
Buddhism teaches that the causes of suffering are greed，hatred and delusion. These conditions remain unbridged in contemporary society and have produced a consumer culture in which the dominate value is the acquisition of goods. The earth vision of the pure land requires that we rediscover that characterizes our civilization is a product of our having forgotten the interrelatedness of our being. The pure land would entail communities predicated upon this understanding. They would be governed by compassion rather than competitiveness.
The pure land requires an individual recognition of freedom and responsibility. I have attempted to approach this through projects, which redirect us to a consideration of the spiritual dimension of existence.
An alternative to consumerism is a project，which recognizes that we must confront the new demonic religion and strive to reestablish standards of value derived form the community. Gatherings are organized which afford people from diverse communities. The opportunity to exchange stories and share experiences.
Spirit in education movement is an educational project that seeks to integrate spiritual teachings into our understanding of the world. It offers and alternative to the narrow unconnected approach of modern education. These projects are informed by the fundamental wisdom of the noble truths. They demonstrate the manner in which the application of this wisdom to social condition can generate the earthly pure land. |
