Treat the Root Cause with Spiritual Ecology-The Spiritual Ecology Series
- Part of "The Spiritual Ecology" Series, authored by Master Hsin Tao
The bulk of ideals of environmental protection focuses on the symptoms instead of the root cause - which to us means we need to resort to spiritual ecology that necessitates a different mindset and delivers efficiency in improving with the support enabled by science and technology.
Mutual respect is a building block of spiritual ecology, meaning that if we show no respect to the Earth's ecology, our disrespectful mindset becomes unbridled, and excessive land development, deforestation, and other irrational exploitation of resources become common practice.
The way aboriginal people cherish all lives on Earth and live with them in harmony lends itself to a good example of showing respect for Nature from their hearts. If we just adopt that mindset and employ spiritual ecology as the background for our pro-nature endeavors flanked by science and technology, ecology will benefit a lot.
