Synopsis:

Publication Delayed Due November 2008. This work is a collection of soundings on topics in the theory and practice, both past and present, of Buddhist ethics. It reveals the richness and diversity of this dimension of Buddhism. The book's topics include: concepts of freedom of the will, culpability and punishment, the interplay of ethical rules and compassion, nature and ethics, economic ethics, Buddhism, violence and peace, embryonic life and abortion, views on suicide, death and organ donation, marriage and women in Buddhism.

Buddhist Ethics in Theory and Practice represents a valuable array of resources to enrich the understanding of the dynamic interplay of ideal and reality in Buddhism.
