| Abstract | 佛教原屬印度之宗教，為印度文化之一環。印度文化之特質是宗教的。印度宗教最高之倫理是求解脫；但仍以人文之倫理作基礎。
中國的文化基本上是人文的，所以倫理也是著重人文的；且，更偏向道德。所以中國人之「道德」，也幾乎已成「倫理」的代名詞。西方人的道德是論應不應；其倫理則論善不善，其極致則是真，善，美，其神學家們則將真，善，美歸之於上帝。
印度人之宗教倫理，有似西方宗教之倫理；其人文倫理則亦如中國之道德倫理。在印度各宗教中，耆那教與佛教是最主張和平的宗教。
本文則從佛教史，佛教文獻，及其影響等方面檢驗其和平精神︰從佛教史看，凡信奉佛教後之印度國王，多由殘暴而轉變成仁王；就文獻看，佛教文學，經典均無輕漫，粗鄙之文字，且充滿著慈悲濟世精神；就佛教影響所及的國家，其國王，乃至民眾多傾向和平。
佛教在印度史上，是被定位為「重商時代」；佛教傳入中國，乃至東南亞，亦形成繁榮地商業社會；而現代佛教在全世界亦正方興未艾，亦值中國經濟起飛之時代，對中國現代社會亦應有所反省。
Buddhism is originally a religion in India. It is one part of the Indian culture. The characteristic of Indian culture is religion. The highest ethic of Indian religion is the seeking of liberation. However, it is still based on the ethic of humanism.
Basically, the Chinese culture is humanistic. Therefore, its ethic also stresses on humanism, in particular, morality. Consequently, in the eyes of Chinese people, "morality" has almost become a pronoun of "ethic".
The morality of western people is to ask whether one should do or not, and their ethic is to ask whether one thing is good or not. The culmination of ethic is truth, goodness and beauty. The western theologists ascribe truth, goodness and beauty to God.
The religious ethic of Indian people is similar to that of western religion, while their humanistic ethic is similiar to that of Chinese moral ethic. Among Indian religions, except Jainism, Buddhism is the religion which promotes peace most.
This paper examines the spirit of peace in Buddhism from three aspects. From the angle of history, most Indian experors, after taking refuge in Buddhism, would change from cruelty to kindness. From the angle of literature and scipture, there are no disrepectful and rude words but full of compassion and benevolence. From the angle of infulence, the kings and even common people who believed in Buddhism were mostly prone to peace.
In the history of India, the period of Buddhism is called the Age of Commercialism. After Buddhism was introduced into China and even Southeastern Asia, a commercial society was also evolved. Nowadays, Buddhism is prospering in the whole world. It is also an age of economic taking-off in China, Buddhism may worth reflection in modern Chinese society.
