Exploring Religious Environmental Ethics Enshrined in Hinduism and Buddhism and its Practical Impact on Conservation and Sustainable Development
Md. Kaifullah
Abstract :
Cultural attitudes and human‘s interaction with nature have been influenced by religious ideas and practices in various ways. Therefore, in light of the current environmental crisis–the world is facing today, the role of religion becomes very important because the it has not only economic, political and social dimensions, but has religious dimensions too. At present, the rapid modernization of Asia–especially India and China is causing extreme environmental problems. The process of modernization has caused severe environmental problems in the region. This region is dominated specially by the followers of Hinduism, Buddhism. In the region, the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism can be widely seen on the lives of the people. It would be worthwhile to highlight the environmental ethics found in Hinduism and Buddhism to address the problems that emanate from this global crisis. There are attempts to weld environmental ethics present within religious texts with the present ecological concerns and this can be discerned in a variety of movements which are trying to translate this into practice
