  • Abstract:
  • Ahimsa, or non-violence, is the foundation of Buddhist ethics, spirituality, and a harmonious society. In accordance with the Buddha's teachings, non-violence is the first of the Five Precepts and encourages compassion and respect for all life. This precept applies to speech and mind, encouraging Buddhists to be compassionate and understanding in all interactions. Nonviolence purifies minds, creates positive karma, and leads to enlightenment. Nonviolence is important because Buddhists believe all beings are interrelated; therefore, injuring others is considered as damaging oneself. Buddhist non-violence has inspired peacemakers and movements throughout history. Buddhist philosophy's emphasis on non-violence is still important today, helping to create a more compassionate and harmonious society. Buddhism's non-violence is important to individual and societal behaviour, as shown in this abstract.
