DISCIPLES OF NATURE

 裝配線上的人生

父母打從你三歲開始送你進學校，自此即天天上學，天天放學後再做數小時家課，一年二百餘天，直至十七八歲中學畢業為止。老師天天不住向你宣講知識，你的感受總是捱著聽，總離不開不知從那裡聽到的「書中自有顏如玉，書中自有黃金屋……」，於是捱著聽下去，一心考試爭到好成績，顏如玉、黃金屋、千鍾粟就會出現。

你或者考了上大學，開始聽到一些大道理、大理想，也感動過一輪，不過大學生的優越身份亦同時沖昏了你，令你也可能玩玩票，但始終不會投入。你或者考不上大學，覺得世界沒你的份，人家只會請你做沒出息的工作。有或沒有念大學，自立謀生後足有十多年你在多個不同行業玩票、打滾，才終於向現實低頭，天天乖乖返工放工的做人，並成了家。這時你才從其他人身上弄懂了，你賺不賺得到錢，跟你考不考得到入大學關係不算大，主要在乎你夠拼搏否、懂鑽營否、有後台、關係否、並且培養得出金錢嗅覺否？於是你天天由早至晚都在拼搏、鑽營、到處嗅，以供養你的房子和家庭，稍有空閒，都只好由得各種不同商品替你減壓。

你知道要了解世情，所以也天天擠出些少時間看各類不同傳媒，但解壓的衝動遠更強烈，所以你不知不覺天天看的查實只是牟利商人巧妙地為你提供的時事娛樂，根本把不到世界的脈搏。你也看到世上許多平事，從傳媒、茶餘飯後等聽到怎樣怎樣可以解決，你激於義慣，終於找個星期日下午參與了，有時是這樣，有時是那樣，可是數十年來，不論個人的、社會的、環境的，除掉雞毛蒜皮小事之外，從來就沒有一樣被解決過。經濟、房屋、經濟、貧窮、經濟、食品安全、經濟、貪污、經濟、民主、經濟、污染、經濟、教育、經濟、工時過長、經濟、自殺、經濟、癌症、精神病、經濟、政治……，問題長期揮之去，令到經營個人生計都經已疲憊不堪的有心人個個只是行禮如儀，一罵二餓三遊行！你終於發現當中有一個問題不但會長期存在，更有些少人說會令人類和地球滅頂，當中有幾個更是當今科學界的泰斗，令你又再義憤填鷹，覺得非做點事不可。正當你要著手，原來要做的事是不用冷氣，坐公共交通，不坐飛機，不去遠遊，踏單車，安裝再生能源，……，若不是要你勞苦不堪，就是要你放棄享受，甚至荷包大出血，完完全全抵觸著你數十年人生不知不覺建立起來的做人方向:   金錢、地位、舒適、物質享受……，這時你的腦子知怎的靈活起來，推斷出這是政府和商界的責任，你個人影響不了，於是照舊使用空調，照舊駕私家車，不過總算自覺盡了公民責任，將温度調較到政府建議的25度，與及停車熄匙！這兩個小動作，做一做，就可以將你的內咎感蒸發掉，你還有什麼好抱怨的。

奇怪得很，氣候熱化極端化並沒有因為你停車熄了匙，空調到了25度而有任何舒緩，更有一些稀有深綠人士說各項社會、文化、環境問題最後都會化為促進全球暖化的因素。例如教育問題不獲解決，學校淪為職業訓練所和虚函製造廠，只打造鞏固既有生產消費秩序的人力資源，令各人的生計都要依賴各種在生產、使用和丟棄過程大量耗用環境資源和排出温氣的消費品不斷天天推陳出新，方才得以維持，但提供不到真正教育，結果令到社會嚴重缺乏洞悉時幣所在的良心知識份子，有問題時只懂求之於傳媒前作秀搏出位的傳媒演員，人人可以天天一罵二餓三遊行數十年都樂此不疲，任由傳媒大享巧妙地將各項問題化成一個又一個的新聞娛樂(並非娛樂新聞，但效果一樣)題材，卻無人提出或嘗試怎樣改變這種生計宿命，即使有人提出了、嘗試了亦因為不乎傳媒運作、戲軌，或不具備權威地位而乏人和應。結果，教育問題不獲解決，亦會化成促進全球暖化、氣候極化的因素。

這就是裝配線上的人生，人類必先要改變這種做人方式，才有機會可以避過滅頂的縮命。

自  然  之  道

自然之道若水，雖成就大海汪洋至深不可測，騰於九天之上至高不可攀，郤育化萬物而不稱主，任人妄捏其名而不愠，盡真盡美盡善！唯人愛胡作非為，不住損害生態，拂逆自然，令眾生歷劫兼瀕危，並自絕於伊甸樂園。故人若覺醒其非，發願重回伊甸，減除刼苦，或替天行道，必以自然為師，覺悟自然之深奧龐雜，生命體系之脆弱易折，當「自然使徒」。

NATURE'S WAY

Nature's Way is like water; accomplishes oceans to unfathomable depths and flies clouds above the skies of immeasurable heights; evolves and nurtures million species of amazingly diverse life forms; all this without being honoured as the Almighty. She has even let humans dis-honour Her without any discontent. How truthful, how beautiful and considerate!!! What a pity humans are mostly such awful high tech earth/life vandals, damaging the life support system, causing unnecessary suffering and mass extinction to all living beings, all act against Nature's Way, so as to banish themselves from the Eden. Therefore, when a person awakes to this disconnect, resolves to move back to Eden, and to lessen the suffering of all life, resuming Nature's Way, she/he must learn from Nature,  understands Her incomprehensible diversity and complexity, realizes the extreme fragility of the earth's life system, and so becomes a DISCIPLE OF NATURE.

自然使徒之四面向:

The 4 facets of Nature's disciples:

一、知(請點擊進入)

自然和社會通識
自然世界極端深奧龐雜，而且環環相扣乃至及於人類社會，後者則頗大程度決定了普遍人會怎樣對待自然、他人和眾生，若人對大自然、社會掌握到足夠真確知識，極容易會好心幹壞事，好人當賊辦兼捧起機會主義者。

1.  KNOWLEDGE(Click Enter)

Natural and social general knowledge

The natural world is extremely complex and diverse, interconnected up to human society. A society’s values and practices can greatly influence how  people treat Nature, one another and all living beings. So, when a person's general knowledge on Natural and social world is inadequate, even with good motives, one can easily do harm, misjudges the innocent and aid opportunists into office.

二、情(請點擊進入)

自然、人類整體和眾生為本
美感和滿足感的認受以大自然中事物為根，價值以眾人眾生整體與及大自然為最終。因為若不如此，必有另些更高價值存在於人們心中，此等價值必可能經常跟眾生、自然和人的價值一致，於有所衝突時，必會令人作出跟後者價值有所抵觸的行為。

2.  AFFECTION(Click Enter)

The Centrality of Nature, humans and all life.
The perception of the aesthetic and satisfaction is rooted in the value of Nature, humans and all life, and is taken as ultimate. That humanity is integral to Nature and all life is also taken as the ultimate value, otherwise there are always going to be higher level of values inside human mind, and this is not always consistent with the value of Nature, humans and all life, and would inevitably lead to the sacrifice of the latter when conflicts of human interest arise.

三、理(請點擊進入)

整全的思考能力
不光是演繹推理、歸納推理和語理分折，還要懂得將這三者和系統思維、模擬思維、和直觀思維有機結合起來。
懂得理解感受和價值關係，推理和價值關係。
整全地理解世界事物。

3.  REASONING(Click Enter)
A wholistic reasoning ability. 
Apart from deductive, inductive reasoning, language analysis, we still need to be able to synthesize the above with systems thinking, similative thinking, and intuitive thinking in an organic manner.
Understand the relationship between feeling and value as well as the relationship between reasoning and value.
Conprehend things in the world in a wholistic manner.

 

四、行(請點擊進入)

坐言起行，並非空口講白話。
為了減少對地球和眾生的傷害，願意調整做人方式、人生方向，更加願意為之付出金錢、方便、舒適、享受、甚至承受痛苦的代價。
 

4.  ACTION(Click Enter)

Convert thinking into solid action. No empty talk.

To realize one's own goal, or to keep the harming of the earth and all life to the minimum, we are willing to adjust, to change the way we live, our lifestyle as well as our goal of life, not to say to sacrifice our money, convenience, comfort, enjoyment, and even willing to withstand pain.

We may take global warming as an example:

 1.      Without profuse and objective common knowledge about Nature and the Earth, such as climatology, earth science, ecology etc., humans simply will never understand how their activities can warm up the earth, cause global warming crisis, and until their last moment will only see the uninhabitable earth as a punishment from heaven rather than a consequence of their own actions.

2.     Even given that most humans across the world may be aware of human-induced global warming,  if their love and care are all devoted only to themselves and their love ones, they will be much more inclined to find a hundred excuses for not responding to the crisis, just like most people in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China do.

3.     Granted a few people will respond to the crisis, but their strategies are usually personal:  eating more vegetarian food, switching their air conditioners to a higher temperatures, take more public transport,  and this of course cannot not help solve the crisis. At this point, doing good at personal levels alone can have very little effect on the warming,  for the culprit is not they, the average consumer, but those well-to-do people, the agricultural, industrial and business enterprises, governments of the world etc.. It's the way they use energy and impacting the carbon absorbing mechanism of the earth, and even the economic-political-cultural infrastructure that matters. To help solve the crisis, at least the awakened few must be dare to make public constructive criticisms, push friends and relatives to take part in the campaign to make major structural changes. To limit changes to oneself is rather like memorizing the alphabet alone and expect to learn English, in the end one still does not understand English.

4.     Even granted at last some awakened brave persons stand up to confront the crisis, put forth ideas to solve the crisis, but how do we know the ideas will work, not to challenge whether       it's the best for tackling the crisis. Thirty plus years ago, when countries in the world first joined hands for solving the global warming crisis, it was envisioned that, so long as people       in the world knew about the issue, they would try their best to switch to renewable energies,  only years later could they learn that only Northern Europe responded to the crisis               promptly, Western Europe was OK, but nearly all other newly industrialized countries like Singapore, Malaysia, India, China and Korea etc., all gave non-substantial responses. Soon          after that some proposed carbon trading measure to quicken the switch over process, yet years later these were found to be futile. Some governments levied a carbon tax, which may           have worked, but the average people objected to the tax quite vehemently.

 What can we do? In fact most other environmental problems are the same, Matter of course thinking can only deplete the invaluable time for solving the crisis. The very way out that bind is the ability to devise a really effective, and feasible method. From this complexity, we can see effective reasoning is a must. Small, do-good-oneself matter etc., copy and paste thinking mode often cannot help, for the modern high tech world is too complex, we need to reason ourselves to see that whether a certain measure is really helpful.
