宗博館響應「全球倫理宣言」:

推動全球生態倫理,邁向生命大和解

/

世界宗教博物館發展基金會 執行長 了意法師

百年來,國際間的交流走過

那段以戰爭製造衝突的歲月,人

們透過地球村觀念的新認知,反

省了在變動劇烈的人類歷史上,

因現代化而造成的問題——即「地

球環境危機」的這一個事實。

我們擁有進步的科技生活,

卻沒有足夠的自制力來防止環境

污染造成地球暖化,於自然生態

上產生嚴重問題;擁有追尋的理

想和目標,卻沒有適當的發揮倫

理道德和宗教信仰,去引導我們

的心靈上的安定。

人類一次又一次重踏覆轍,

直到終於體認到尊重、對話與合作

的重要。希冀藉助宗教的柔性力

量,逐漸消弭紛爭,克服人類的全

球性問題。因此,自 1893 年即開

始的「世界宗教議會」(Parliament

of the World's Religions, 簡 稱

PoWR),致力於東西方跨宗教交

流,1993 年更於會中發表「全球

倫理宣言」,認為所有宗教都具

備善性的倫理傳統、價值與規範,

這些因素都有助於建立彼此的共

識,保護地球。

「第七屆世界宗教議會」發表演

說,並分享宗博館於宗教交流上

的成果和貢獻。過去宗博館以「尊

world has gone through a period

of conflicts and wars, which has

prompted people to reflect on this

history of radical changes brought

about by modernization and to

form the new concept of a global

village, which recognizes the fact of

"environmental crises on Earth." We

have highly advanced technology but

not enough self-restraint to prevent

environmental pollution and global

warming, which caused serious

problems on the natural ecosystems.

We pursue ideals and goals without

proper ethics and beliefs to guide our

spiritual lives. We keep repeating

the same mistakes until we finally

realize the importance of respect,

communication, and collaboration.

The tenderness of religion might

be helpful in easing conflicts and

in overcoming global problems.

Therefore, the "Parliament of

the World's Religions" (PoWR)

inaugurated in 1893 devotes itself to

cross-religion dialogues of the world.

PoWR announced in 1993 meeting

the "Global Ethics Declaration",

emphasizing that all religions have

The Museum of World Religions responds to“Global Ethics Declaration”, promoting

global ecological ethics and a grand reconciliation of all lives.
