Buddhism and Buddhist teachings

Buddhist teachings dont just affect attitudes towards early(a) people and former(a) things, but overly to other precise meaning(a) subjects the environs and animals.In todays world there are few that truly watch the environment and keep it loose. Buddhists believe that the up keeping of the environment is very important and they work hard to maintain it. Their aim is to reduce all forms of contaminant (even visual and noise). Although Siddhartha wanted to reduce worldly attachment he also wanted to keep the world clean and this is what Buddhists do amongst their other practices.Ahimsa is respect for life, the belief that all animals nurture a soul they call subsisting things Sentients. When the Dali Lama won the Nobel Prize For Peace, he saidAs long as there are sentient beings about in this world, I will be there to sustain themThis quote started up Engaged Buddhism which is taking things one-step further and doing something about important issues as well as meditat ing about them. For example if a Buddhist notices a problem with the amount of waste generated by a certain area, past they may write to the local authorities to suggest a recycle scheme which they would then help promote.Buddhists also practise collective Karma, which is when several(prenominal) Buddhists get together and do something beneficial like recycling. This improves the Karmas of everyone involved and it is amend the world for the future.Because of samsara (the cycle of life) Buddhists may also keep the environment clean because they wont want to be born into a dirty world.Right thoughts, live, lying-in and action are the four things from the eight-fold path that Buddhists use when helping the environment and animals. Right action is not polluting or littering. Right thought is intellection about the environment before doing anything that may harm it. Right living is not getting a job which promotes pollution, or similar (like a car sales man). Right effort is puttin g your back into it and in reality trying to improve things.The majority of Buddhists are vegetarian. This is because they respect the life of other sentients and dont believe in killing them for food. They also firmly believe that animals have rights too and shouldnt be tested on for various products. They think that if they go about killing animals, they might kill their friends or relatives in other lives. This all works towards respecting the rights of animals and not harming them.All in all, Buddhists care very much for the world they live in and the sentients that they live with and they try to help keep the world a clean place to live in like all should do.
