論「身土不二」與深層生態倫理學的建構並探索其多元應用面向─從「不二法門」的觀點切入

「身土不二」是二十一世紀人類覺醒的核心課題，它一方面是建構深層生態倫理學的重要基礎，另一方面也是推動「全球倫理」的關鍵環結。當代有關生態倫理學的論述，大多迷失於「人類中心主義」的立場。當前地球生態的破壞，就是人類中心主義所造成的結果。「身土不二」的論述，則是從地球全體的立場，重新找回人類自己的角色定位以及生存之道。此一立場主要在於提醒人類與地球全體的內在關連，也彰顯出人類與地球共存共續的全球責任。從這個角度來說，「身土不二」的理論探討及其應用方向，不但可以提供一個新的世界觀，同時也替二十一世紀的人類提供一個有效的共同連結以建構「生命倫理」、「環保倫理」與「全球倫理」。

”Non-duality of Body and Earth” is the core issue in the awakening of human beings in the 21st century. On the one hand, it is the foundation of creating in-depth ecological ethic; on the other hand, it is the sole Dharma gate for advancing global ethic. The theory of current ecological ethic is confined to human-centered stance. This theory is actually rather misleading, and the damage to the ecosystem of the earth at the present time resulted from this human-centered concept consequently. The theory of ”Non-duality of Body and Earth” is to position human beings and to find the way of survival from the stance of the whole earth. This theory stresses the inner connection between mankind and the whole earth. In addition, it also emphasizes the non-detachment of co-existence and co-prosperity between mankind and the earth. From this viewpoint, ”Non-duality of Body and Earth” can offer not only profound connotation but also a common link for people in the 21st century to create ”Ethic of Life,” ”Ethic of Environmental Protection,” and the ”Global Ethic.”
