| 摘要 | 氣候變遷全球暖化導致天災頻仍，災民人數及財產損失逐年增加。據聯合國統計，在2017年，受到天然災害影響的人數為9600萬人，財產損失高達3140美元。鄰近的中國，於2020年（一月到八月）洪泛災害的影響人數已高達6346萬人，直接經濟損失達257.7億美元，較過去五年的平均值分別增加12.7%和15.5%。人類文明已進入災難社會的紀元。聯合國政府間氣候委員會（IPCC）從1990年發表第一次評估報告到2014年的第五次評估報告，歷經25年的縝密研究最後判定「人為活動」是造成全球暖化的主因。經濟繁榮、科技進步、生活品質及舒適度的改善是人類進步的表徵，追求快樂歷程的成果，但其背後卻暗含著天地災變、人與環境的緊張關係以及人內在精神的失落。依佛法的觀點，知見錯誤導致行為偏差，惡業苦果接踵而至。要化解當前的危機，應從人們根本的觀念下手，從正確地認識自己及自己與周遭社會環境的關係來改善。本文先從《楞嚴經》中觀音菩薩耳根圓通的修持方法與所證果德，說明菩薩如何透過「空」的方法以破除虛妄分別隔閡而達到心性的全面開展，從而認識有情生命在時空維度的無限性以及與其它眾生及環境間的互攝互容性，因而開展出大慈大悲的濟世行持。其次，以大愛遍寰宇、齋戒茹素及環保的實踐行動來說明慈濟志業體本著觀音菩薩慈悲喜捨四無量心之修證果德為人間修行之依歸，以無私無我的「群體共善」來打造心淨土淨的「人間淨土」，以化解現前全球的危機並成就永續的福祉。 Climate change has caused numerous natural disasters. The number of people affected by natural disasters is increasing year by year. According to the United Nation's statistic, in 2017, 96 million were affected worldwide, and direct economic losses were estimated at $314 billion. In China, from January to August in 2020, the number of people affected by floods alone reached 63.46 million, and direct economic losses were $25.77 billion. They were 12.7% and 15.5% higher than the average of the past five years, respectively. Human civilization has entered the era of ＂disastrous society.＂ After 25 years of intensive researches, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concludes that human activities are the main cause of global warming. Economic prosperity, technology advancement, and improvement of quality and comfort of life are the results in the course of the progress of human civilization and the pursuit of happiness. Concurrently, it incurs the costs of climate change, natural disasters, the tension between humans and the environment, as well as the loss of humanism and spirituality. From the Buddhist perspectives, the predicament is caused by erroneous views which lead to wrong behaviors, and affliction and suffering follow. To resolve the crisis, we need to reexamine the nature and the reality of ourselves, and our relationships with other sentient beings and the environment. This paper first introduces Bodhisattva Avalokitêśvara's cultivation and realization recorded in the Śūraṃgama-sūtra. The cultivation focuses on the methods of emptiness to let go of deluded conceptualization of the separation and limitation, thereby one realizes the holism of mind. It is the Reality of ourselves, wherein our life is limitless and inexhaustible in both temporal and spatial dimensions, and one is mutually compatible with other sentient beings and the environment as well. Second, it discusses Tzu Chi's implementation of Great Love and Compassion, plant-based diet, and environmental protection. The implementation is used to illustrate how Tzu Chi practices to let go of self-limitation to generate globally common goods in order to create an ＂earthly pure land.＂ This is the approach that might resolve the current global crises and to achieve sustainable well-beings. |
