In this way, the Tripitaka is very significant to adherents of Buddhism as it provides a clear set of expectations of the adherent of the religion as well as providing a guide to the teachings of Buddha. An example of this can be seen through a quote of the text (see appendix A), where it explains how Tanha is the cause of Dukkha. Many similar explanations are seen throughout the Tripitaka. The Tripitaka is also a very significant text as it represents the connection between the present monks and adherents of Buddhism to those of the past. This is significant to adherents of the religion as the text ensuring that the essence and facts of Buddhism do not alter over time, as they are clearly written within the Tripitaka.

Climate changes and shifts in ecological conditions could support the spread of pathogens, parasites, and diseases, with potentially serious effects on human health, agriculture, and fisheries. c. Humanity’s natural resource base and thus economic security? We as humans must do our part in protecting what is left of our natural resources and must realize that what we do today will affect the future for the next generations and so on. We have to set up guidelines to secure our environments well-being and follow them in order to save them from becoming extinct and hurting us in the long run, we must reduce our waste and pollution rate and restore as much as we can back to create a well-balanced eco-system to try to place it back to some kind of normalcy to secure human a future access to natural resources.

Carson connects
This fold of the path is the way that Buddha wanted you to see the life, nature, and the world as it really is. It also explains why we have human suffering. This path explains a way to live a virtuous life, with the right view. If a follower can follow this fold then it will clear the path of uncertainty, misinterpretation, and diluted thinking (Allan 1).

The environment has only recently been recognised as a concern and thus placed on the agenda of Christian Churches with the use of environmental ethics. These ethics are a part of environmental philosophy which considers the ethical relationship between humans and the natural environment. Ethical teachings in Christianity are based on the three fundamental issues upon which the creation stories are based. These teachings have been derived from biblical traditions highlighting the fact that God is the creator of all things, what God created was good and that human beings have stewardship and responsibility over these creations. It is therefore believed that humans must work in conjunction with God to ensure that the fragile environment is nurtured and protected.

Heraclitus, as well as Cratylus, were both Ontological and Epistemological thinkers who examined the nature of our world and what we know to be true, if any. During this Pre-socratic time philosophers were trying to understand the nature of our being, better known as ontology. They wanted to understand the “ what is and what is not” and used many materialistic ideals to do so. They used their senses to understand the changes that occurred all around us in everyday life. They believed that nature was intelligible and by observing the behaviour our of environment, would give understanding or reason to our nature as human beings.
