摘要
Environmental problems stem from the dichotomous nature of man. The Buddhist views this nature as expressions of ordinary experience，but there is another dimension to experience which, though functioning in the ordinary experiential realm，is non-attached to any empirical elements and therefore depicts a detached form of existence. The tension between the attached and detached forms of existence is resolved by the capture of emptiness in experience which, in turn，brings forth the realization of a holistic and balanced nature of existence.
