• W2894737575 abstract "Environmentalists often turn to the world’s religions for guidance in conservation theory. Buddhism is frequently viewed as a religious tradition that embraces attitudes conducive to the preservation of nature. In contribution to scholarly dialogue, my doctoral thesis explores Tibetan Buddhist perspectives on the treatment of the natural environment. My research focusses on the Tibetan Buddhist religious culture of the sacred geography known as Pemako. My thesis is guided by two principal research questions: the first asks about the nature of the relationship between Pemako’s religious narrative and its environment. In response, I initially explore how practitioners have related historically to the region’s landscape with an analysis of the Treasure text Self-Liberation upon Hearing and other relevant scripture. Through ethnographic research I then study the narratives of recent pilgrims to the region. The second research question enquires about the implications of this relationship for Pemako’s environment, and whether the Tibetan Buddhist theory that supports the religious tradition could have any influence on conservation of Pemako’s ecosystems. My research reveals that planned construction of hydro-electric dams and existing trans-boundary tensions in Pemako could conceivably cause widespread damage to the environment. The most immediate threat to Pemako’s ecosystems, however, stems from local Tibetan Buddhist communities’ farming, hunting and poaching practices. Unlike contemporary Tibetan Buddhist environmentalist discourse that accentuates compassion in environmental activism, my study demonstrates that practitioner faith in the mythology surrounding Pemako defines the spiritual relationship to the landscape. I show that this belief serves soteriological aims rather than instilling any inherent reverence for nature. I turn to two conservation projects from China and India that focus on the endangered snow leopard to demonstrate that a civic environmentalist approach to local conservation could incorporate Pemako’s religious narrative to inform the region’s continued existence as a sacred geography." @default.
