Given the challenges of the environmental crisis, Buddhism's
teaching of the interrelatedness of all life forms may be critical
to the recovery of human reciprocity with nature. In this new work,
twenty religionists and environmentalists examine Buddhism's
understanding of the intricate web of life. In noting the cultural
diversity of Buddhism, they highlight aspects of the tradition
which may help formulate an effective environmental ethics, citing
examples from both Asia and the United States of socially engaged
Buddhist projects to protect the environment. The authors explore
theoretical and methodological issues and analyze the prospects and
problems of using Buddhism as an environmental resource in both
theory and practice. This groundbreaking volume inaugurates a
larger series examining the religions of the world and their
ecological implications which will shape a new field of study
involving religious issues, contemporary environmental ethics, and
public policy concerns.
