Applied Buddhism and Global Ecological Crisis - Dipak Kumar Barua - Bog

The 'Applied Buddhism and Global Ecological Crisis' is primarily based on the analysis of present global ecological crisis and its control in the perspective of Applied Buddhism. Though conservation of Nature is one of the main basic practices in the Buddhist society from ancient times, but awareness of protecting the 'Global Environment' along with the conservation of Nature and preservation Wildlife has come into public focus only in recent times. In order to prevent 'Climate Change' in the 'Global Environment', the Buddha has encouraged us to understand more deeply the underlying unity and inter-connectedness of life. He has identified health as the highest gain while contentment as the greatest wealth of every human being. The laws of nature follow the principle of Middle Path. So, humanity should be more aligned with Nature and the Middle Path. We need to realize that we are all interdependent upon one another.
