Abstract:

Buddhist befriending is holistic: it befriends human beings, even enemies, and nature too. In Buddhism one befriends others, in all circumstances and without discrimination, whether they are friends or enemies, offenders and prisoners, the poor and the needy. It also  includes other religions and cultures as well as nature. We  find several examples in the Buddhist texts, in history and in the contemporary world. This befriending is done with an altruistic spirit, with forbearance, loving friendship and compassion. As in all religions, however, there are exceptions in the texts, in h

Abstract:

Buddhism, often perceived primarily as a spiritual and philosophical path, encompasses profound principles of social welfare that align spiritual development with social responsibility. This paper delves into the intersection of Buddhist teachings and social welfare, exploring how core Buddhist doctrines and practices contribute to the well-being of individuals and society. The study begins by examining the foundational concepts of compassion (karuṇā) and loving-kindness (mettā), which underlie Buddhist approaches to social welfare. It then explores the historical role of Buddhist monastic ins

Abstract:

The rich and priceless ideological heritage system of Ho Chi Minh is influenced by Buddhism with its core values of humanism, worldview focused on pursuing idea of “the true, the good, the beautiful”, on “compassion, sympathy, joy, equanimity”, on “impermanence, selflessness, altruism”, on saving the suffering, living a good and moral life… The core idea of Buddhism is one of the cultural thoughts that had a great influence on the process of forming Ho Chi Minh’s worldview. The combination of Buddhist thought and Ho Chi Minh’s worldview is the combination of converging lenses of nation and Bud

Abstract:

This study developed a Buddhist Generosity Scale to assess Buddhist generosity, acts of compassion to give something of value to humans and animals, among Thai Buddhists. Conceptually the Scale consists of two factors: scope—giving to humans and animals, and criticality—the gifts’ importance to the recipients. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the two-factor structure. Convergent validity tests showed its relationships with optimism, hope, and altruism but none with forgiveness; discriminant validity tests found positive relationship with psychological entitlement but none

Abstract:

This study explores the relationship between Humanistic Buddhism and organizational behavior, focusing on the teachings of Master Hsing Yun. Humanistic Buddhism is characterized by six key principles: humanity, life, altruism, joy, timeliness, and universal salvation. Master Hsing Yun emphasizes that management is not about commands or authority, but about understanding, respect, tolerance, equality, and exchanging positions. He believes that the secret to effective management lies in managing one's own mind first, adhering to principles of time, space, digital statistics, and moral conduct. I

Abstract:

Wonhyo is well known not only as a scholar but also as an exemplary model of his public relief activities. This paper is an attempt to find the theoretical basis of his altruism in his academic writings. For this purpose, taking the theory of postponement of nirvāṇa of a bodhisattva, which is a model of altruism widely seen in the Mahāyāna Buddhism, especially in the East Asian tradition, as a clue, I examined the tension between the postponement of nirvāṇa and apratiṣṭhita-nirvāṇa, the ultimate model of altruism in Mahāyāna Buddhism, and examined how Wonhyo solved the problem.

Introduction. The article is focused on studying the self-knowledge techniques used in Buddhism and their application in teaching philosophy. The relevance of the study is due to the search for new approaches to studying philosophy, including approaches related to philosophical practice, as well as the interest of modern scientists in the problem of consciousness. The problem of consciousness is interdisciplinary and its study is of practical importance for philosophers, psychologists, linguists, specialists in artificial intelligence.

Abstract:

Buddhism for China’s digital‑native youth now unfolds less in monasteries than on the endlessly scrolling timelines of Douyin, Bilibili, and WeChat, where Zen‑style décor ads, three‑second tea ceremonies, and pastel Amituofo memes appear as algorithmic coincidences. How, in the absence of ritual apprenticeship or clerical authority, do such fragmented, commercialised encounters coalesce into a felt conviction of “being Buddhist”? This paper answers by fusing the lived‑religion turn to everyday practice, Wellman’s networked individualism, and cultural‑schema theory with Mahāyāna categories of u

Abstract:

This chapter identifies challenges facing Engaged Buddhism in the West and proposes new models of ethical interpretation to account for its originality and persistence. Taking Engaged Buddhism to mean the application of Buddhist principles and practices to address social sources of human suffering and environmental harm—in contrast to other modes of Buddhist ethics, such as discipline, virtue, and altruism—we consider the degree to which Buddhist social engagement has been embraced, repudiated, or ignored by influential Buddhists and by the sponsors of mindfulness meditation programmes that ha

Abstract:

Abstract This chapter deals with altruism in classical Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, beginning with an assessment of what it means to study religions critically. How religions promote care for others can then be investigated on the basis of the motivations set out in literature held to be pivotal within each tradition. That analysis, however, problematizes the very definition of ‘altruism’, requiring consideration of how it has been applied and what methods can be used to detect and measure altruistic behaviour. Although the critical issues involved require continued re

Abstract:

Mahatma Buddha promotes a humanistic religion that is easy to understand and accepts people of all backgrounds. Since this method does not need much money or time to implement, it may quickly expand worldwide and not only inside the borders of the Indian subcontinent. Indians hold their culture in the highest regard, especially Buddhism and the enlightened ideas of Mahatma Buddha. Buddhism, which promotes nonviolence and altruism, is the philosophical foundation for India's foreign policy. Even in the 21st century, it is clear that everyone, including India, may benefit significantly from Budd

Abstract:

Abstract Tantric Buddhist practices, often regarded as transgressive or liminal, diverge from the sedate ways of the monastic establishment and the bodhisattva ideal of selfless altruism. The reconciliation of these quite different paths to enlightenment is one of the landmark intellectual projects of late Buddhism. Tantrism was conceived as a way (naya) or vehicle (yāna) leading to awakening that could be followed alongside monastic or bodhisattva religiosity in spite of its antinomian tendencies. The eradication of conceptuality (vikalpa) is one common goal that was especially suited to tant
