Buddhism and Human Rights
It is difficult to think of a more urgent question for Buddhism in the late twentieth century than human rights. The political, ethical and philosophical questions surrounding human rights are debated vigorously in political and intellectual circles throughout the world and now in this volume
Buddhism and ecology: A virtue ethics approach1
Introduction: Whether Buddhism has a compelling ecological dimension or not has been a much discussed question in recent years. I think I should put my cards on the table at the outset and say that I count myself among the sceptics in this respect.

Suicide, Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia: A Buddhist Perspective
This article explores Buddhist attitudes towards suicide, assisted suicide, and euthanasia. It considers some of the methodological problems in elaborating a Buddhist perspective, for example the lack of a central religious authority, and the limited amount of discussion of these issues in traditional sources. Drawing mainly on the Pali canon it suggests, contrary to previous scholarly interpretations, that Buddhism is opposed to suicide by those…
