Seeking a sense of purpose and an escape from their nation’s consumerist culture, hundreds of millions of people in China have been turning to religions like Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. Now the religious revival is helping fuel an environmental awakening. Spiritual leaders are invoking concepts like karma and sin to deride the excesses of economic development. Religious followers are starting social service groups to serve as watchdogs against polluters. And advocates are citing their faith to protest plans to build factories and power plants. Frustrated by what he sees as indifference to a crippling #pollution crisis, Yang Shihua, the abbot of Mao Mountain — a sacred #Taoist site — built a $17.7 million eco-friendly temple. With its stretches of untouched land, the mountain stands as a monument to nature. Its 20 acres also include an organic vegetable garden. Nearby is this giant statue of Lao-tzu, the founder of Taoism, which @adamjdean photographed here. Bees’ nests hang undisturbed, and signs remind passers-by that branches and trees are synonymous with life. The mountain’s spiritual leaders say they want to define a distinctly Chinese type of #environmentalism, emphasizing harmony with nature over Western notions of “saving the earth.” Visit the link in our profile to read more.
