| 摘要 | The article focuses on the environment related teachings of Gautama Buddha, founder of Buddhism, and its usage in the modern world. The Buddha lived long before the need to live in a sustainable way was recognized, and he never spoke of humanity pushing the planet to the brink of livability. He did speak about the duality of desire and aversion, but on a more personal scale. One bends logic and reason to justify his/her greed and his/her hate. These qualities exist in all to some degree, and they reside at the core of the Buddha's teaching. The Buddha taught that this universe is conditioned. That is to say, all things arise and cease, and the arising and ceasing of things occurs because of the arising and ceasing of other things. In Buddhism, ignorance of the nature of the universe is the cause of suffering, and wisdom regarding the nature of the universe is the cause for the cessation of suffering. The antidote to greed is generosity. Acts of generosity are a direct challenge to accumulation and ownership. |
