“Our belief in reincarnation is one example of our concern for the future. If you think that you will be reborn, you are likely to say to yourself, I have to preserve such and such because my future reincarnation will be able to continue with these things. Even though there is a chance you may be reborn as a different creature, perhaps even on a different planet, the idea of reincarnation gives you reason to have direct concern about this planet and future generations.”
-- The Dalai Lama
You can read this quote here...
It seems that if you want to live a good life in your future life, you'll take care of the earth in this life, according to the Dalai Lama. And that works even if you come back as a totally different creature on a totally different planet. Makes sense to me...
