(1996)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Providing an introduction to Buddhist ethics, this booklet outlines a commonly practised set of five precepts, with commentary on each. It covers the Buddhist approach to non-violence, sex, drugs and alcohol, and shows how, in Buddhism, ethics are not about forsaking things that are forbidden, but about embracing a positive and joyful way of living.
