Buddhism and World Peace

The volume begins by framing Buddhism as a practical theory of existence that diagnoses human suffering and proposes a path of moral purification, meditation, wisdom, compassion, and non-violence. Its chapters connect Buddhist peace ethics with concrete social questions: declining values in Indian society, equality and ethnicity, the role of youth in peace-building, village-level awareness of world peace, human responsibility, tribal development, and the rise of ahiṃsā in warlike contexts. Taken together, the essays argue that world peace requires more than political negotiation or technological progress. It requires an ethical restructuring of society through justice, equality, restraint, compassion, and social responsibility—values that Buddhism can contribute to modern global civilization.
