| 摘要 | The Buddha appeared at a time that is widely recognized as a period of political，social and spiritual unrest in India. The canonical texts of Theravada Buddhism are testimony to the prevalence at this time of wars between kings and kings, and between kings and the republican states. The texts also reflect social conflicts arising from crime and poverty and interminable disputes and confrontations among the many competing religious and philosophical schools of the time. The Buddha had occasion to comment on all these conflicts.
The three major inputs discussed above are derived from the Buddhist conception of attachment (lobha)，aggression (dosa) and delusion (moha) as the three roots of unwholesome action and the opposites of these，namely freedom from attachment，aggression and delusion (alobha/ adosa/ amoha) as being the roots of wholesome action. The next two are from the principles of right speech, and mutuality of benefit; the last is a practical example derivable from the administration of the Buddhist community committed to liberation.
A resolution of conflicts will be possible if we are able to realise the necessity to learn how to loosen the grip exerted by the unwholesome roots on our collective character at least to some extent. Sooner or later，humanity will have to make a valiant struggle towards this end，if it is to escape from the spiral of hate and criminality in which it is now engulfed. We can thus conclude that the principles and procedures proposed for personal regeneration are also eminently applicable on the path to social regeneration. |
