Abstract | A virtue needed by all beings, both human and animal, justice is the result of men’s treatment to their fellow human beings, other beings or even their natural surroundings in the way believed to be fair in accordance with the religious as well as the legal principles. However, it is an abstract element, unable to be touched but able to be felt by heart. The society, where there exists the justice, is assured to enjoy peace, tranquility and equality as well. In such society, the law can be enforced in the full scale, and the religious teachings can be applied effectively. But how justice arises, and how justice can be achieved and implanted in the global community are the ‘everlasting’ questions pending solution by the religions, legal instruments, education systems as well as by human beings themselves. This article is going to deal with the Buddhist concept concerning justice, the Buddhist approaches to create justice and the Buddhist contributions to social justice in the society. |
