A Business of Environmental Care: Tzu Chi Humanities Model of Buddhist Economics
環保的實業：慈濟人文模式的佛教經濟
摘要
人類的貪婪造成土地的過度開發，引發人為的溫室效應與氣候變遷。貪婪也更進一步地牽動全球金融危機的浪潮，擴大貧富差距。在台灣有一群實業家致力大愛感恩科技模式的實業理念，肩負百分百完全回饋的社會責任，透過商品販賣的經濟利潤，全數捐作慈善組織的開銷和公共福利。這是一個獨特的慈悲品牌，品牌背後的實業家們，實踐著道德身行與社會責任的使命，讓所有權形態的商品，純然成為慈善濟助的善巧形態。本論文分析國際慈濟人道援助會(英文簡稱TIHHA)演進為各式必需品的經濟發展。最近由大愛感恩科技利用回收品所再製的紡織品，不僅成為生活必需和人道主義的商品，也是慈濟環保人文和全球社群對話的媒介，更成為證嚴法師推動在「時間、空間、人與人之間」發揮道德智慧價值的人生經濟學的溝通型態。此一典範的生命哲學表現了安貧心富的覺悟，交融佛教經濟學的本質面貌。
並列摘要
Greed leads to the overdevelopment of land, which correspondingly contributes to the anthropogenic greenhouse effect and climate change. Furthermore, greed triggers waves of financial crises around the globe, which broadens the economic gap between the rich and the poor. Here in Taiwan, a group of entrepreneurs is committed to the corporate ideology of the DA.AI Technology (DA.AI) model, which shoulders social responsibility through ＂100% complete feedback＂ to society, where economic profits earned through selling merchandise are entirely donated to charitable organizations for expenditures and public welfare. This is a unique brand of compassion, in which entrepreneurs carry out missions of moral action and social responsibility, where the possessive form of merchandise profit yields completely to the manipulative form of charitable relief. This paper analyzes how the Tzu Ch International Humanitarian Aid Association (TIHHA) evolves into an economic development of a variety of necessities goods. Currently, the recycled textile products of DA.AI serve as more than life necessities and humanitarian merchandise, but also as dialogue media between Tzu Chi's Humanities of Environmental Protection and the global community, as well as a form of communication to promote the morally wise economics inspired by Dharma Master Cheng Yen's teaching on the life philosophy of time, space, and human relations. This exemplar life philosophy demonstrates an enlightened sense of frugal simplicity and spiritual fortune, and ultimately encompasses the essence of Buddhist economics.
