摘要
This essay is not a disinterested analysis of Buddhist doctrine, but an unapologetic exposition of the implications of that doctrine for ethics and political action in the contemporary world. To understand a Buddhist analysis of nonviolence in a way relevant to our contemporary life, it is first important to understand how violence manifests in the contemporary world. Second, we must develop a recognizably Buddhist analysis of that violence and its causes. Third, we must examine how a Buddhist ethical framework determines our responsibilities as agents in the context of that violence and a path to its eradication.
