Explain the three points Catherine Bell is making by focusing on this quote from an ancient Chinese sage:

“The meaning of ritual is deep indeed. He who tries to enter it with the kind of perception that distinguishes hard and white, same and different, will drown there. The meaning of ritual is great indeed. He who tries to enter it with the uncouth and inane theories of the system-makers will perish there. The meaning of ritual is lofty indeed. He who tries to enter with the violent and arrogant ways of those who despise common customs and consider themselves to be above other men will meet his downfall there.”

Catherine Bell was explaining that there are three ways to look at rituals. Some based on culture and connection to society and others based on histoical studies etc. I think this Chinese sage relates to what she is saying because she opened up the section of the book that we read by saying rituals are complex and that there is no "set" way to study them and everybody has a different understanding of what a ritual is. This relates to the sage's description of rituals as "deep, great and lofty," because it is a vast subject in that it is not black and white and trying to understand it using theories and facts will not get you far. Same with the statement on arrogance, looking at rituals from a perspctive of "being right" is also not productive. Signup and view all the answers

What do we learn from The Ramayana about ecological ethics? What is one story/aspect of The Ramayana that illustrates this point?

We learned that people and nature are one and that humans should not be exploiting nature for selfish purposes. I think the whole of the Ramayana illustrates this point in the sense that humans, animals and nature are so intertwined throughout the whole story. An example is the monkeys that "help" (catch her jewelry) Sita out when she is being captured. Although it's a minor detail, I feel like it encompases the idea that humanity and nature/animals are supposed to be in harmony/helping each other. This applies to Hinduism as a whole in my opinion as well because the intimate connections between humanity and nature in Hinduism are so different than in Christianity.

What is one resource, either from the Vedas or Upanishads, that offers a starting place for Hindu ecological ethics?

The Upanishads talk about Forest Dwellers which is a more mature stage of life for some Hindus. This could offer a starting place for ecological ethics because it shows that mature years of your life should be spent in God's creation, meditating and focusing on God. It ties back to the idea that nature and the ecosystem is a gift not something to be taken advantage of. Signup and view all the answers
