Editorial Reviews
Product Description
"For more than a quarter of a century, those in search of an introduction to Buddhist moral thought have turned and returned to this volume." Thus notes Charles Hallisey of Harvard University in his introduction. Starting with an examination of classical Greek notions of ethics, Venerable Saddhatissa goes on to explain the development of Buddhist moral codes and their practical application.
