Abstract | According to the Gospel of Luke, Jesus expressed great compassion for the poor and actively sought ways not only to alleviate their condition but also to change the social structures that created their suffering in the first place. Although the methods that Jesus used to achieve the reduction of suffering differed from those used by Buddhist bodhisattvas-more emphasis on action, for example, and less on meditative wisdom-the model of Jesus as social activist can helpfully inform modern movements within the Buddhist tradition that emphasize social justice, such as "engaged Buddhism." |
