| 摘要 | Global warming and climate change have been frequently haunting mankind recently because of the epic natural disasters or catastrophes, such as dire rainstorms, more floods, stronger hurricanes or cyclones, more frequent wildforest fires and so forth swamping the victims especially in the year of great turmoils of 2008. The scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) [1] have vindicated that these so called natural disasters or catastrophes are, in actuality, not natural but man-made. They are caused by lax, irresponsible, greedy behaviours rooted in anthropogenic or human activities moulded by anthropocentricism or human centredness. Anthropocentricism is closely related to the core of esoteric religious concern – the illusive empowerment of human six sense activities through the body, speech and mind by the superimposed self-centric ego. The key function of esoteric religion in general and Buddhism in particular is the obliteration of self-centric ego so that one becomes more friendly towards others including biotic and abiotic natural environment. The attitude towards the natural environment is influenced by one’s religious wisdom derived from understanding the phenomena-principle relationship generally described as the relationship between the world and God. |
