Towards a Holistic Buddhist Eco-Ethics

The debate on Buddhist eco-ethics emerged in the late 20th century and continues to the present day, which fosters the intersection of Buddhist eco-ethics with environmental ethics. However, the current understanding of Buddhist eco-ethics still falls short of a holistic concept. To fill the gap, this paper argues that different macro perspectives should be considered in the process of developing a concept of holistic Buddhist eco-ethics. For this, we firstly attempt to clarify the dispute over the feasibility of Buddhist eco-ethics from the internal, external, and Buddhists’ perspectives. Then, we address the dispute concerning the classification of Buddhist eco-ethics, proposing a typology that accommodates different perspectives. Finally, two methods are suggested to mediate the dispute over Buddhist eco-ethics and justify its holistic concept, that is, regarding Buddhist eco-ethics as a form of virtue ethics and as a product of “engaged Buddhism.” Here, it is also emphasized to include Buddhists’ perspectives when mediating the dispute. Accordingly, we put forward a holistic concept for Buddhist eco-ethics that incorporates three main macro perspectives: ecological ethics in Buddhism, Buddhism in ecological ethics, and Buddhists’ environmental activities. It is hoped that the wisdom of Buddhist eco-ethics can help us forge a path towards a more harmonious and sustainable world in the near future.

Буддийские аспекты образа барона Р. Ф. Унгерна фон Штернберга в повести "Песчаные всадники" Л. А. Юзефовича

The article explores the Buddhist components of the image of Baron Roman Ungern von Sternberg in the works of Leonid Yuzefovich. The analysis is carried out within the framework of the concept of the “Buddhist text” in modern Russian literature. The author of the article discovers and comprehends Buddhist ideas and motifs present in the story Horsemen of the Sands and the documentary novel The Autocrat of the Desert. Indirectly, the article also uses the essay “The Six-Armed God and His ‘Sons’ ” from Yuzefovich’s The Most Famous Impostors. The story and the novel were reprinted several times, and each time the writer made significant edits to them, which fixed significant changes in the image of the main character and reflected the writer’s deepening knowledge about Buddhism. The image of Baron Ungern in the story and in the novel is a complex and synthetic image, it combines the signs of a positive hero and of an infernal being, each of which is rooted in Buddhist metaphysics. The image of the baron as a character in Yuzefovich’s fiction correlates with the image of the real Roman Ungern von Sternberg. The real Baron Ungern looks no less exotic than his literary reflection. He is a participant in the White Movement, a religiously motivated warrior for the Buddhist faith, who comes into conflict with the West. He realizes himself inspired by Buddhist hierarchies and exists in the space of the approaching apocalypse. At the same time, in connection with the image of Baron Ungern in the story Horsemen of the Sands, the writer turns to the problems rooted in Buddhist philosophy, in particular, he raises questions of the illusory nature of being, karma and nonviolence. The image of horsemen of the sands fixed in the title of the story is a metaphor of time absorbing people and events, of the illusory space, of the unreliable human ontology, and of the unseemly vanity. Another idea of the story is the impossibility of avoiding the consequences of what has been done both at the level of the history of nations and of the fate of an individual due to karma, that is, the Buddhist law of created causes and matured consequences. The writer interprets both the appearance of Ungern in Mongolia and his passing away as a manifestation of bad karma. Finally, another important idea of the story is the idea of the essential discrepancy between the ethics of Buddhism and the idea of its violent, military propagation. The convergence of Buddhism and war in Horsemen of the Sands looks wrong and inappropriate, and leads people who have embarked on such a road to collapse at the level of their own destiny and to a historical defeat.

Perkembangan Ajaran Buddha dalam Trilogi Pembebasan

<em>Before the birth of Buddhism, Indian society was familiar with various beliefs which were characterized by the ascetic tradition, the rites of the Brahmins, the religion of the Upanisads, and the strong ascetic traditions of the Jainas. Buddhist philosophy was born from the teachings of Buddha Gautama, obtained from the results of his enlightenment. The Buddha guided his followers to arrive at the Arahant. Buddhism is divided into two major schools, Hinayāna and Mahāyāna. Ethics or morality in Buddhism can be found in three sentences, such as avoiding bad deeds, adding to good deeds, and cleansing the heart, all of which are summarized in the Pancasila Buddha and Pancadhamma. The main teachings of the Buddha are recorded in the Tripitaka. Between philosophy, religion and ethics in Buddhism has a very close relationship in the goal of achieving liberation, because Buddhism does not separate knowledge from behavior, theory and practice.</em>

The Ethics of Buddhism and the Ethos of the Japanese Management: The Spirit of Ji-Hi

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the reasons why most of the Japanese companies have a high regard for employee's competence and don't adopt personnel retrenchment as one of the urgent countermeasures to come out of a business slump. We looked over historical documents about business disciplines and practices from the 17th century to the 19th century, and examined ideas, beliefs, and philosophy advocated in those documents in order to elucidate the reasons why the Japanese companies assume the human-oriented attitude toward its employees, and extracted a conclusion that the human-oriented attitude in the Japanese management has its origin in the spirit of Ji-hi, such as the virtue of compassion of the Buddha.

Concerning Ritual Practice and Ethics in Buddhism

For anyone who would like to follow up on some of the fascinating people and groups that have been a part of the Anglican Left for about 150 or more years, an adventure awaits. Since the Victorians and Edwardians were such prolific (if not prolix) biographers, there are many volumes of the Life and Letters varieties available. There also are accounts of churches, such as of St. Alban's, Holborn, mentioned in my text. I have had the good services of the SeaburyWestern Theological Seminary Library (part of United Libraries) in Evanston, Illinois to thank for consulting much of that material. Some of it is rather rare, at least on this side of the Atlantic. There are four particularly helpful treatments of the Anglican Left that are more readily available and that I would recommend:
