| Summary: | Environmental concerns, which are grave to the world at large, need a multidimensional outlook that would make for a larger contribution to meaningful sustenance. Academic engagement centring the role of religion to environment in general, Buddhism in particular, has been in the foray for about a half a century. This paper highlights a more popular strand of Buddhist literature, i.e., the Jātakas, to widen the gaze for an ecological inquiry. This we hope will add nuances to the existing scholarship and will fairly broaden the understanding of the knowledge society of an early Indian religious tradition. |
