Hinayana Buddhism and Its Path to Enlightenment of People for the Upcoming Meta-Verse: The Ecological and Cultural Perspectives
Abstract
Buddhism is an Indian origin religion, or dharma, and its context is enormous, culturally diverse, and complex. There are three major traditions (Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana or Tantric) and variants of these in the form of at least 18 schools and their numerous sects. Buddhism is the sacred law, peace, morality, and the teachings of the Buddha. It is also all things in nature. Animals, trees, humans, insects, sunlight, etc. are all dharmas. So, at its very essence, Buddhism can be described as an ecological religion or religious ecology. In this chapter, the author explains some fundamental opinions in Hinayana Buddhism regarding the relationships between human beings and nature and which components are essential needs for the upcoming meta-verse. In Buddhism, through human action, one can attain the permanent happiness of nirvana as an ultimate vision, which demands individual, social, and meta-verse change.
