ABSTRACT: The
analytical point of view of literature is leaning toward the ecological and
social change in the world. Based on the concept “words that breathe or texts
that breathe” which is initiated idea by doctor Jose Marrero Henriquez for
analyzing in eco-criticism, I would like
to extend this line of thinking and trying to interpret it. Aforementioned
words or literary texts that breathe, appear to be some relationship with meditation,
which concentrates on the breath a human being. From this point of view, the
eco-analysis of literature is a way of looking at the path between ecocriticism
and Buddhism, regardless of tradition. This is an attempt to do interpretation
by ecocriticism on novel by Gun Ayurzana,
“Shugden” (2012) which talks story of one of separated ethnic groups in Mongolia, interconnected each other to religious and philosophical
issues.
