Buddhist Ethics : A Very Short Introduction brings together two largely independent fields of knowledge: Buddhism and ethics. Historically, ethics has not received as much attention in traditional Buddhist thought as it has in the West. This VSI looks at why, covering Buddhist attitudes to animals and the environment, sexuality and gender, war, terrorism, abortion, suicide, euthanasia and science, and biomedical technologies such as cloning and gene editing. While some aspects of the Buddhist moral code are familiar and have themes in common with Christianity, others - like karma and rebirth - are less common in the West. Buddhist positions on moral issues are complex and often more conservative than they first appear.

Some twenty-five centuries after the Buddha started teaching, his message continues to inspire people across the globe, including those living in predominantly secular societies. What does it mean to adapt religious practices to secular contexts?   Stephen Batchelor, an internationally known author and teacher, is committed to a secularized version of the Buddha's teachings. The time has come, he feels, to articulate a coherent ethical, contemplative, and philosophical vision of Buddhism for our age. After Buddhism, the culmination of four decades of study and practice in the Tibetan, Zen, and Theravada traditions, is his attempt to set the record straight about who the Buddha was and what he was trying to teach. Combining critical readings of the earliest canonical texts with narrative accounts of five members of the Buddha's inner circle, Batchelor depicts the Buddha as a pragmatic ethicist rather than a dogmatic metaphysician. He envisions Buddhism as a constantly evolving culture of awakening whose long survival is due to its capacity to reinvent itself and interact creatively with each society it encounters.   This original and provocative book presents a new framework for understanding the remarkable spread of Buddhism in today's globalized world. It also reminds us of what was so startling about the Buddha's vision of human flourishing.
