Buddhist Perspectives on the Ecocrisis - Softcover
The current crisis arising over environmental pollution and over exploitation of natural resources has gripped the attention of virtually every human being today. The development of western technology has spurred the belief that applied science could eliminate all human wants and usher a golden age of unlimited prosperity for all. So far the approaches to environmental protection have been sponsored in official quaters. Buddhism gives a philosophical insight with its thesis that happiness can be found through the restraint of desire in a life of contentment rather than through the proliferation of desire.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. ecocrisis stems from a cause lying far deeper than the immediate predicament which it creates. For the ecocrisis does not confront us simply as one more set of problems to be disposed of through further research and legislation. It comes upon us, rather, as a disturbing manifestation of the dangers inherent in unbridled technological proliferation and industrial growth and a grim portent of even graver dangers ahead if current trends continue unchecked. Thereby it causes us to reassess some of the basic premises upon which modern Western civilization is grounded and the goals towards which so much of our energy and wealth are directed.
