This paper focuses on ethical action in Theravada Buddhism. To do so requires a definition of ethics and morals on the one hand, and ethic and moral on the other. It also requires a discussion of the difference, if any, between moral actions and other normative actions, such as law, rituals, customs, and etiquette.
The book applies Buddhist ethics ff to a range of issues of contemporary concern: humanity’s relation-ship with the rest of nature; economics; war and peace; euthana-sia; abortion; sexual equality; and homosexuality.
Abstract. This article defends and develops the categorization of Bud-dhist ethics as moral phenomenology. It first examines the use of the term in Western philosophical settings and com-pares it to how the term is employed in Buddhist settings.
The root of Buddhist morality is not thought to be God or another supernatural being, nor even the Buddha himself, but Dharma, the “Law” or “Truth” of the nature of things, which the Buddha is said to have discovered and expounded.
‘Buddhist morality’ argues that there is a common moral code underlying the divergent customs, practices, and philosophical teachings of the various schools of Buddhist thought. Branches as diverse as Zen and Tibetan Buddhism have still stemmed from the values of the Buddha in the 5th century bc .
virtue ethics is the closest Western analogue to Buddhist ethics, and this interpretation is now widely accepted. However, it has recently been challenged by writers, such as Charles Goodman and Barbra Clayton, who argue that Buddhist ethics should be understood as a type of uni-versalist consequentialism.
