Description
"With an emphasis on cross-cultural understanding, philosopher Padmasiri de Silva explains the Buddhist approach to contemporary ethical issues. He counsels compassion, emotional sensitivity and compromise in approaching issues as diverse as environmental degradation, racism, workplace relations, violence and suicide, Padmisiri de Silva's discussion of the Buddhist texts shows that the Buddhist approach is as relevant now as it has been for the last 2,500 years." "This volume is useful as a guide for students, and as a companion to the discourses of the Buddha. It is also a practical reader for those seeking a way of understanding the problems of the modern world."--Jacket.
