Ethics In Buddhism: A Philosophical Retrospect Of Gautam Buddha In The Context Of Modern Society

Abstract

The present paper highlights the ethics of Buddhism which have philosophical context and is connected to modern society. Buddhist ethics are the essential parts of teaching, the psyche and freeing ourselves from pain. Buddha teaches us to inspect persistently whether or not what we believe, perform, and say reasons harm to ourselves and others. By means of ignoring the actions that reason harm, we can create grave headway toward waking up. This course focuses the theories about the environment and basics of ethical judgments and applications to contemporary moral questions. More importance is placed on moral theories such as consequentialism, deontology and asset principles. Buddhism is one of the world's largest religions. Buddhists consider that the human life is one of distress and those thoughts, divine and bodily labor and good behavior are the ways to attain illumination, or nirvana.
