AbstractThis article explores South Asian Buddhist analyses of feelings and their roles as intermediaries between the external world and moral choices and motivations. Specifically,I consider emotions that,in their extremity,may not at first appear to play a significant role in motivating moral action and yet are evoked frequently in Buddhist narrative:fear,horror,grief,and awe. I argue that the texts suggest a "moral naturalism" whereby the external world is structured morally. Feelings of fear and horror,insofar as they take their cues from such a moral structure,can provide trustworthy moral guides for those sensitive to them.
