By exploring lived ecological experiences across seven Buddhist worlds from ancient India to the contemporary West, Roaming Free Like a Deer provides a comprehensive, critical, and innovative examination of the theories, practices, and real-world results of Buddhist environmental ethics. Daniel Capper clarifies crucial contours of Buddhist vegetarianism or meat eating, nature mysticism, and cultural speculations about spirituality in nonhuman animals.
Buddhist environmental ethics often are touted as useful weapons in the fight against climate change. However, two formidable but often overlooked problems with this perspective exist. First, much of the literature on Buddhist environmental ethics uncritically embraces Buddhist ideals without examining the real-world impacts of those ideals, thereby sometimes ignoring difficulties in terms of practical applications. Moreover, for some understandable but still troublesome reasons, Buddhists from different schools follow their own environmental ideals without conversing with other Buddhists, thereby minimizing the abilities of Buddhists to act in concert on issues such as climate change that demand coordinated large-scale human responses.
With its accessible style and personhood ethics orientation, Roaming Free Like a Deer should appeal to anyone who is concerned with how human beings interact with the nonhuman environment.

Описание: Jesus and the Poor sharpens readers' perceptions of Jesus' concern for the poor by setting his teaching within an accurate and vividly described account of the harsh economic relations of his world. Typical ancient economic problems, including the limited diet of the peasant/artisan mass, peasant debt, the harsh lives of day-labourers, frequent resort of poor women to prostitution, and the luxurious indulgence of the elite, are illustrated from Biblical, Intertestamental and other materials. This socio-economic 'map' enables the student and general reader to understand Jesus' sharp critique of wealth and to interpret many particular features of his teaching. For example, the poor diet of many in his world explains the intensity of Jesus' concern for the poor, his hostility to any self-indulgent rich who ignore the plight of 'Lazarus' at their gate, storing food while others experience hunger, his reference to the sale of sparrows in the market-place (for food, as a source of protein) and his instruction to pray for a daily ration of bread (obtaining even this was a struggle for many). Jesus is proven both a sharp critic of exploitative economic relations and a proponent of an ideal of sharing which was determinative for early Christianity and ultimately revised the ethic of antiquity through the charitable practice and teaching of the Church. The contemporary relevance of Jesus' teaching is shown through a concluding analogy drawn between the exploitation of the poor by the rich in antiquity and relations between the developing and developed world today.
